Abstract
After a determination of the frequency of dens invaginatus by means of radiographic
observations, various problems of its identification are discussed. The 188 teeth
showing a distinct loop-shaped invagination apically on the radiograph were studied
for the presence or absence of caries and periapical lesions. It was demonstrated
that periapical lesions caused by caries are mostly due to interproximal caries and
that the frequency of periapical lesions caused by caries in the dens invaginatus
area was less than previously reported. Comments are made on the dens invaginatus
cases having periapical lesions without caries and the parameters for future studies.
