TI  - ENDODONTIC TREATMENT OF INVAGINATED CANAL WITH MTA AND A VITAL PULP WITH TYPE 3 DENS INVAGINATUS : 2-YEAR FOLLOW UP CASE REPORT
AB  - Dens invaginatus type 3, a severe form extending beyond the cementoenamel junction and exhibiting a second foramen intothe lateral periodontal ligament or periradicular tissue. This anomaly may involve the periradicular tissue and cause pulpalnecrosis and periradicular lesions.An 11-year-old female patient was presented with slight swelling and periodic pus drainage from buccal gingiva of the maxillaryleft lateral incisor as her main complaint. Tooth had no pain on percussion or palpation, no color change, no caries and nomobility. Radiographic examination revealed that there was a radiolucent area on the mesial side of the coronal root. It wasobserved that this radiolucency was associated with apex of dens invaginatus. Because of continuous drainage through thecanal, calcium hydroxide was replaced after 1 week with irrigated NaOCl. The drainage was under control after 3 weeks. Rootcanal treatment was applied to the malformed area by filling only the invaginated canal completely with MTA. Cavity wasrestored with light-cured resin composite.Main pulp was kept vital and 2 years follow up showed periapical repair and absence of clinical symptoms. The patient wasremained asymptomatic and pulp vitality was continued.Dens invaginatus is a dental malformation, which has a complicated treatment because of the complex root canal anatomy. It isvery important to be able to identify and treat this dental malformation correctly.
