Endodontic Management of Calcified Oehler’s Type IIIb Dens Invaginatus in Permanent Maxillary Lateral Incisor Using Cone Beam Computed Tomography
Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 19, Issue 3
Abstract
Dens Invaginatus is a developmental disturbance resulting from abnormal morpho differentiation. It is characterized by an invagination of the enamel and dentin, creating a lumen inside the affected tooth, which may extend as deep as the apical foramen. In the present scenario, calcified Oehler’s type IIIb dens invaginatus in left maxillary lateral incisor in 23-year-old male patient was seen. As the two-dimensional imaging lacks accuracy in such complicated cases, cone beam computed tomography was used to assess the calcification three dimensionally. Endodontic treatment was performed in two visits, using thermoplastized gutta percha obturation technique.
