Abstract

The present case report illustrates a rare occurrence of multiple dental anomalies in a healthy 12-year-old patient including anomalies of shape and number of teeth. The developmental dental anomalies noticed in the present case scenario are dens invaginatus, taurodontism, radix entomolaris, supernumerary teeth, and pulp stones seen in multiple teeth. It is not rare to notice these anomalies individually, but their combination is rare in a single, non-syndromic patient. This report also signifies the importance of thorough extra-intra-oral and radiographic examinations of patients with dental anomalies.

Keywords: Dens invaginatus; radix entomolaris; supernumerary teeth; taurodontism.
