Dens invaginatus type II: case report with 2-year radiographic follow-up.
Dens invaginatus is a malformation of teeth probably resulting from an infolding of the dental papilla during tooth development. Clinically, it is frequently characterized by unusual crown morphology. It is common to see peg- or barrel-shaped teeth. The present case describes dens invaginatus in a lateral maxillary incisor (Oehler type II) with a barrel-shaped crown of a 12-year-old female patient; endodontic treatment and adhesive restoration were performed. After two years the tooth showed no signs of pathosis.
