J Endod. 2005 Feb;31(2):130-3. doi: 10.1097/01.don.0000137637.94281.82.

Abstract

Endodontic treatment of a maxillary lateral incisor with dens invaginatus in association with sinus tract and lateroradicular lesion is reported. Invaginated teeth present technical difficulties with respect to their management because of complicated canal morphology. This case was treated by conventional root canal treatment. At follow up examination after one year the tooth was asymptomatic and radiographically showed repair of the lesion.
