Aim: Presentation and discussion of orthodontic-endodontic treatment of a maxillary central incisor diagnosed with infected dens invaginatus (Oehlers' type III) and associated apical periodontitis utilising ultrasonic and hand instruments and the surgical operating microscope as an auxiliary tool for both diagnosis and treatment planning.
Materials and methods: This case report describes the diagnosis and conservative treatment of a unilateral case of a maxillary central incisor with an infected type III dens invaginatus and an associated periradicular lesion followed of an orthodontic movement.
Results: At the 1-year follow-up examination, clinical and radiographic findings showed that a diligent nonsurgical root canal treatment resulted in satisfactory periradicular healing.
Conclusions: The present report demonstrates successful nonsurgical treatment of tooth with a challenging anatomy using contemporary techniques and materials.
