Premolarised maxillary lateral incisor with dens in dente: Combination of rarities

Abstract

In day-to-day clinical practice, we come across several oral and maxillofacial diseases and disorders of both hard and the soft tissues. It is not uncommon to find developmental disorders of teeth. A variety of developmental disorders of teeth are recognized and some are pretty much common. One such infrequent developmental disorder of the maxillary lateral incisor is premolarisation. What is even rarer is when it is associated with another anomaly such as dens in dente. A combination of these two rare dental anomalies in a single tooth is being reported. Clinical Relevance: Clinical knowledge about rare dental anomaly Objective: The reader is expected to recognize such rare combination of dental anomalies and effectively manage.
