  • Dens Evaginatus: Current treatment options
    Journal of the American Dental Association (1939), 2020
    Co-Authors: Jung-wei Chen, George T.-j. Huang, Leif K. Bakland
    Abstract:

    Abstract Background Teeth with Dens Evaginatus (DE) are more commonly observed in Western countries than previously. This is due to the increase in populations of patients of Asian origin, in whom DE is more common than in people of European origin. The interest in DE has also increased with the introduction of a procedure called regenerative endodontics. Case Description A narrative review of treatment options for teeth with DE is presented, based on pulpal conditions and maturity of the teeth. Practical Implications Early recognition of teeth with DE allows for treatment choices that generally lead to good outcomes and can aid in preserving developing teeth in young patients.

  • Regenerative Endodontic Treatment with Orthodontic Treatment in a Tooth with Dens Evaginatus: A Case Report with a 4-year Follow-up.
    Journal of endodontics, 2018
    Co-Authors: Marianella Natera, Padma M. Mukherjee
    Abstract:

    Abstract Dens Evaginatus is a developmental tooth anomaly in which an extra cusp or tubercle protrudes on the occlusal surface of the tooth along with some pulpal tissue. Because of the fragile nature of the protrusion, these teeth are often at risk of pulpal exposure. When this occurs in an immature tooth, regenerative endodontic treatment may be a good treatment approach to promote root formation. There is limited literature that documents the occurrence of orthodontic treatment in teeth that have undergone regenerative endodontic therapy using triple antibiotic paste. Here we present a case of an immature premolar tooth with Dens Evaginatus that was diagnosed with pulp necrosis and chronic apical abscess. The tooth was treated with regenerative endodontic treatment; after which, the patient received orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances for 2 years. The tooth responded favorably to the regenerative endodontic treatment and orthodontic tooth movement. Clinically and radiographically, all the follow-up examinations revealed an asymptomatic tooth with evidence of periapical healing with stunted root development. The tooth remained asymptomatic even after 4 years. The regenerative endodontic procedure (REP) was successful in treating an immature permanent premolar with pulp necrosis and apical periodontitis with Dens Evaginatus. In this case, the tooth treated with an REP responded to orthodontic treatment similar to the nonendodontically treated teeth. Further studies are recommended to clarify the precise effects of orthodontic treatment on teeth treated with an REP.

  • prevalence of Dens Evaginatus in a group of thai children in bangkok
    Chulalongkorn University Dental Journal - วารสารทันตแพทยศาสตร์ จุฬาลงกรณ์มหาวิทยาลัย, 2013
    Co-Authors: Siwaporn Sukaram
    Abstract:

    Objective The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of permanent premolars with Dens Evaginatus, relationships between age and the stage of attrition and between the anomaly and sex. Materials and methods 1,141 schoolchildren in Mathayomsuksa 1-3 of Ratchavinitbangkhaepankham school (602 males and 539 females) were examined for the presence of Dens Evaginatus and status of anomaly in all erupting permanent premolars. Data were statistically analyzed using SPSS at a significant level of P<0.05. Results Dens Evaginatus was found in 21 students (1.8 percent). The anomaly mostly occurred in mandibular premolars. There was no significant relationship between Dens Evaginatus and sex. The prevalence of Dens Evaginatus was significantly associated with age. There was a statistically significant difference between 11 - 12 year - old and 13 - 17 year - old children. (P=0.004) Conclusion The appropriate age for management of Dens Evaginatus should be at 12 years. Successful management of Dens Evaginatus depends on the likelihood of early diagnosis and intervention. This study suggests that management of Dens Evaginatus initiate as soon as premolars erupt.

  • Clinical Management of Dens Evaginatus on Premolars

    Co-Authors: Siwaporn Sukaram
    Abstract:

    Clinical Management of Dens Evaginatus on Premolars Siwaporn  Sukaram B.Sc., D.D.S., Grad.Dip.In Clin.Sc. (Pediatric Dentistry) Dental Department, Ratchaphiphat Hospital The purpose of this article is to report the success in clinical management of twenty two Dens Evaginatus teeth (DE) in eleven patients. Twenty non-pathological DE teeth were identified, all of which were asymptomatic and viable. Several types of clinical management were delivered as follows: sealant (6 teeth), sealant with indirect pulp capping (1 tooth), indirect pulp capping (10 teeth), direct pulp capping (1 tooth) and selective grinding (2 teeth). Follow up of these teeth revealed that all 20 teeth had no sign and no pathology, the pulps remained viability. In addition, two pathological DE teeth, secondary to fracture of the evagination, were treated. One had necrotic pulp and received apexification treatment to induce closure of the root apex. The other tooth received root canal treatment. Early diagnosis and prompt management should be sought to provide the greatest opportunity for complete root development and pulpal viability.

  • Dens Evaginatus and Prophylactic Treatment: Report of a Case and Review Literatures

    Abstract:

    Dens Evaginatus and Prophylactic Treatment: Report of a Case and Review Literatures Siwaporn           Sukaram            DDS Department of Dentistry, Rachapipat Hospital A 12-year old girl presented a rare case of Dens Evaginatus in six permanent premolars. Selective grinding and pit fissure sealant was indicated for one and pulp capping with preventive resin restoration for another. Four of them were restored by pulp capping on the top of tubercle with preventive resin restoration. The patient was followed at six and twelve months and found that every teeth was vital, asymptomatic and no pathology.
