Résumé
Dens invaginatus is a developmental malformation of teeth.Affected teeth show a deep infolding of enamel and dentine starting from the foramen caecum or even the tip of the cusps and which may extend deep into the root. Teeth most affected are maxillary lateral incisors. The malformation shows a broad spectrum of morphologic variations and frequently results in early pulp necrosis. Root canal therapy may present severe problems because of complex anatomy of teeth. Aetiology, classification, prevalence, diagnosis and treatment considerations are reviewed
