title: Non-surgical root canal treatment of dens invaginatus type 2 in a maxillary lateral incisor.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To describe the clinical management of an unusual dens invaginatus type 2.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  A case of dens invaginatus in a maxillary lateral incisor with a periapical lesion is reported. The patient presented with pain and localized swelling. Despite the complex anatomy and diagnosis of dens invaginatus, non-surgical root canal treatment was performed successfully.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  * Dens invaginatus may be presented in many forms, and the aetiology of this phenomenon is not fully understood. * Due to abnormal anatomical configuration, dens invaginatus presents technical difficulties in its clinical management. * Non-surgical root canal treatment can be performed successfully.
