Dens Invaginatus (DI) is a rare developmental malformation of teeth, resulting from an infolding of dental papilla. The increased risk of pulpal pathologies associated with DI makes it clinical relevant. Only few cases have been reported where double DI was found associated with supernumerary teeth. Diagnosis of DI with the conventional radiographs is not easy, so advanced imaging modalities are must. This paper highlights a rare case of bilateral double DI in multituberculated maxillary central incisors with impacted supernumerary teeth with its clinical and imaging features
