Management of Oehler's Type II Dens Invaginatus in a Maxillary Lateral Incisor With Asymptomatic Periapical Periodontitis: A Case Report.
Article in Clinical case reports, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Dens invaginatus (DI), also known as dens in dente, is a rare developmental anomaly where the enamel organ folds into the dental papilla, resulting in complex anatomical structures. This anomaly predisposes teeth to early pulp involvement, periapical pathology, and treatment challenges, particularly in maxillary lateral incisors, which are most frequently affected. Early diagnosis and the use of advanced imaging are critical in ensuring effective treatment. This report details the successful nonsurgical endodontic treatment of a 23-year-old female with Oehler's type II dens invaginatus in the maxillary left lateral incisor (tooth #10). The patient presented with a non-vital tooth and periapical lesion, with CBCT confirming the invagination's extent and classification. Treatment utilized a dental operating microscope (DOM) to create dual-level access cavities, allowing thorough debridement and disinfection of both the main and invaginated canals, irrigated with sodium hypochlorite and EDTA and obturated with mineral trioxide aggregate (MTA) and gutta-percha. At a 14-month follow-up, complete periapical healing and tooth retention were observed. This case emphasizes the complexity of Type II dens invaginatus anatomy and highlights the critical roles of CBCT and DOM in diagnosis and management, alongside appropriate material selection and advanced techniques to achieve favorable outcomes. Early detection combined with precise imaging and conservative endodontic treatment can lead to successful clinical and radiographic resolution.
