Apexification of non-vital pre-molar stemming from possible dens evaginatus.
Dens evaginatus is a dental anomaly that occurs more commonly in pre-molar teeth. Although not a cause for alarm in most instances, it can lead to serious consequences if it is damaged. This paper explores the treatment of a necrotic pre-molar with an open apex that caused serious facial swelling in an adolescent patient. It is believed that this swelling was the result of an enamel tubercle, or dens evaginatus, which was knocked off or traumatized.
