panoramic, pseudocanalAbstract
Case 1: A 21-year-old female presented with a main complaint of pain and swelling associated with the anterior teeth
in the second quadrant. Clinically, the patient had a draining sinus in the region of the 22. To identify the specifi c tooth
responsible for the swelling and assess the overall condition of the dentition, a panoramic radiograph was deemed necessary.
Additionally, the patient expressed concerns about missing teeth, which necessitates an evaluation for potential crown and
bridge treatment options. A periapical radiograph was taken of the offending tooth. Case 2: A 39-year-old male first presented with a main complaint of pain on the over-erupted 18. Two years later he presented with a main complaint of pain on the 46. Both cases highlight the fi ndings of dens invaginatus. Panoramic radiographs together with a periapical radiograph were taken to asses the patient’s main complaint.
