– Dens evaginatus (DE) is not uncommon. It can affect the premolars of people of oriental ethnicity, and it can lead to different clinical problems. This article describes the diagnosis and management of a patient presenting with a fractured tubercle of DE and an unusual buccal abscess in relation to periapical radiolucency extending around the mandibular second premolar and first molar.
