Abstract	Dens Invaginatus is a rare developmental anomaly resulting from the invagination of enamel epithelium into the dental papilla during tooth formation. It often presents diagnostic and treatment challenges due to its complex internal anatomy and risk of pulpal pathology. The most frequently affected teeth are the maxillary lateral incisors. This case report discusses the diagnosis and endodontic management of a Type III-b Dens Invaginatus in a 19 year-old patient, who presented with a chief complaint of fractured tooth. Radiographic and CBCT evaluation confirmed the anomaly. Non-surgical endodontic treatment was successfully carried out using bioceramic materials to ensure a three-dimensional seal of the complex canal system. This case highlights the importance of early detection, radiographic assessment, and a tailored treatment approach in managing dens invaginatus.
