Abstract :
A 20-year-old man presented with the history of pain and swelling in the anterior
maxillary segment. The periapical radiography was indicative of a dental anomaly
in right maxillary lateral incisor. Due to the insufficient information from
conventional radiography, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was
ordered. CBCT showed apical root resorption, large apical lucency and two
separate canals with distinct apical foramen (Oehlers type III dens invagination).
The CBCT image was used as a guide for dentine removal with an ultrasonic tip.
Conventional root canal therapy was done using lateral compaction technique.
One-and two-year follow-up radiographies revealed periapical repair and
absence of symptoms.
