Insights into the October 2023 Issue of the JOE

The narrative review by Lerdrungroj et al., explored the clinical management of dens evaginatus (DE). The current authors performed a comprehensive search in prevalence, prophylaxis and management of DE (1). Two hundred sixty-four articles met the eligibility criteria. DE has a prevalence of 0.5-6.3%, with a probability of a genetic predisposition. It is most commonly seen in mandibular premolars, though it may develop in all tooth types. Teeth with normal pulp and reversible pulpitis should be restored with a bonded material to reinforce pulpal vitality.
