VASQUEZ VEREAU, Grecia y VEGA YSLACHIN, Margarita. Dens invaginatus: diagnosis and clinical management. Literature review. Rev. Estomatol. Herediana [online]. 2024, vol.34, n.2, pp.167-176. Epub 29-Jun-2024. ISSN 1019-4355. http://dx.doi.org/10.20453/reh.v34i2.5535.
Dens invaginatus (DI) is a dental alteration that occurs before mineralization and is a consequence of the folding of the enamel organ within the dental papilla. Its characteristics allow the rapid onset and progression of carious lesions and, consequently, pulp and periapical disease. This article summarizes data from original articles and literature reviews from the Scopus and PubMed databases. In this sense, the aim of this literature review is to present guidelines for the clinical management of DI according to its etiology, classification and diagnosis, in order to improve the effectiveness of the treatment and prognosis of this very complex alteration.
