Abstract
Dens invaginates is a defect categorized by a prominent lingual cusp and centrally located fossa. It occurs due to early
invagination of the enamel epithelium into dental papilla of the underlying tooth germ. The affected teeth show a deep invagination
of enamel as well as dentin initiating from foramen caecum or tip of the cusps and may extend even into the root. The teeth that
are most frequently involved teeth are the maxillary lateral incisors, there might also occur a bilateral involvement. In this anomaly
there can be seen several morphologic variations and it may lead to early pulpal involvement from the caries progressing into the
pulp from lingual pit. The treatment varies from a preventive restoration to endodontic therapy, depending on the severity of the
case. The present case report refers to one such case having a deep lingual pit bilaterally in both the maxillary permanent lateral
incisors.
