Abstract

Case reports published between 1970 and 1995 that describe the characteristics of dens evaginatus of anterior teeth were reviewed. In addition, a radiographic survey of 15,000 anterior teeth was conducted to determine the occurrence of this developmental malformation. In this survey, dens evaginatus was found in about 1% of the anterior dentition and was more frequent in the maxilla, particularly in the lateral incisor. This anomaly was less frequent in the mandible.
