Abstract
A case of dens invaginatus in a mandibular second primary molar of an eleven-year-old boy is presented. The tooth was extracted and examined by scanning electron microscopy. SEM findings demonstrated the presence of defective enamel and cementum in the pulp chamber. Dentinal tissues were also irregular and had fewer and thinner tubules. This case of dens invaginatus in primary molar is an unusual case of the malformation being the only one in the literature.Entities:
