Bilateral dens invaginatus with associated radicular cysts. A case report.
A case report is presented describing bilateral dens invaginatus of the maxillary lateral incisors. Pulpal disease of the lateral incisors resulted in radicular cysts with the right cyst expanding to cause the eventual loss of four teeth. Removal of the cysts was followed by normal healing. Early detection of the bilateral dens invaginatus might well have resulted in successful interceptive care.
