A Rare Case of Bilateral Mesiodens With Dens Invaginatus Obstructing Permanent Incisor Eruption. [PDF]
Clin Case RepThe co‐occurrence of mesiodens and dens invaginatus (DI) is very uncommon. Such anomalies may impede the eruption of permanent maxillary central incisors and can appear radiographically similar to normally developing teeth.
