Diagnosis and root canal treatment of maxillary lateral incisors exhibiting dens invaginatus: A case series

From a technical point of view, root canal treatment of invaginated teeth is not an easy task due to the complexity of their canal morphology. In this article, three cases are reported, for which two different treatment approaches were applied. One case was treated following the conventional approach, whereas the other two were treated applying the conventional approach together with endodontic surgery. Follow-up examinations showed successful clinical and radiographic results in the three cases mentioned in this article.
