GUTIERREZ, Natalia  y  MENESES GUZMAN, Pablo. Differences in the approach of two lower premolars with dens evaginatus: case report. Rev Odontoped Latinoam [online]. 2023, vol.13, e-423606.  Epub 26-Mar-2024. ISSN 2174-0798.  https://doi.org/10.47990/alop.v13i.606.

Dens evaginatus is a dental abnormality consisting of a cusp- or tubercle-shaped elevation of the enamel that is in the central groove or in the buccal area of the cusps of premolars or molars, as well as on the palatal surfaces of teeth. The internal structure of the tubercle is formed by a layer of enamel that covers a core of dentin which contains, in 90% of cases, an evagination of pulp tissue. This article reports the case of a patient of Asian descent with two lower premolars with dens evaginatus, which were approached differently: one premolar received preventive and minimally invasive treatment while the other premolar required root canal treatment.

Palabras clave : tooth abnormalities; bicuspid; preventive dentistry; endodontics; non vital teeth.
