Co-occurrence of gemination and dens invaginatus: a case report

Geminasyon, tek bir diş tomurcuğunun bulunduğu yerde, tomurcuğun ikiye ayrılması ile oluşan gelişimsel bir anomalidir. Bu durum bazen çift diş ya da ikiz diş olarakta adlandırılır. Dens invaginatus ise diş tacının bir kısmının invaginasyonu kaynaklı diğer bir gelişimsel anomalidir. Bu anomaliler normalde ayrı ayrı meydana gelir. İki anomalinin birlikte bulunduğu, literatürde yalnızca 4 adet rapor vardır. Burada, aynı dişte hem invaginasyon hem de geminasyonun eş zamanlı oluştuğu çok nadir görülen bir olgu sunulmuştur.

Dens invaginatus ve geminasyonun bir arada bulunması: bir olgu sunumu

Gemination is a developmental anomaly where a single tooth bud attempts to split into two. It is also sometimes called as double tooth or twinning. Dens invaginatus is another developmental anomaly caused due to invagination of a portion of crown. These anomalies occur as separate entities. Co-occurrence of these two anomalies have been only reported four times in the literature. Here we present an extremely rare case of simultaneous occurrence of gemination and dens invaginatus in the same tooth.
