RESUMO
A rare case of radicular dens invaginatus (dens in dente) was found during dental cleaning of a 5-year-old male Rottweiler dog. Radiographic examination revealed intense radiopacity, which extended from the crown to the apical root region of the affected tooth. Macroscopically, the crown of the left maxillary first molar tooth (209) had irregular and deformed buccal and lingual surfaces. Microscopic examination revealed dentine invagination in the pulp cavity in of the crown and root and pulp necrosis. Based on the gross, radiographic and histological findings, a diagnosis of radicular dens invaginatus was made.

Dens invaginatus or dens in dente is a developmental dental malformation that has the radiographic appearance of a separate tooth inside the pulp chamber or canal of another tooth. This report describes endodontic treatment of a variation of dens invaginatus in the maxillary canine tooth of a dog.

A 6-year-old dog was presented for draining tracts associated with both mandibular first molar teeth. Radiographs of the affected teeth showed periapical bone lysis. Surgical tooth extractions were performed and the tooth segments were submitted for histopathologic examination. Microscopic evaluation of the teeth showed in folding of the enamel and dentin consistent with a diagnosis of dens invaginatus. Examination performed 13-months following the extraction procedures indicated uncomplicated healing at the extraction sites and no other visible evidence of endodontic disease.

Developmental abnormalities of tooth shape and form are rare. Identification of dens in dente is made by radiographic and clinical examination. Pulpitis, pulp necrosis and periapical inflammation can be associated with this abnormality. The tooth should be evaluated for endodontic therapy. A review of the literature related to dens in dente is described with the findings in a doberman pinscher.
