Macrodontia, Dens in Dente, and Enamelomas
Slide #24 is an example of macrodontia, note the unerupted lower 2nd bicuspid teeth are as large or larger than the molar
teeth, “molarization of the bicuspids”. Slides #25 and #26 show a developmental defect called “dens in dente”, dens invagi-
natus or tooth within a tooth. Invagination of the cingulum has resulted in enamel being reflected into the tooth. This is of
no clinical significance except that caries may develop in the invagination and escape detection. The ectopic formation of
enamel is depicted in Slide #27. Small droplets of enamel form on the root surface, so-called enamelomas or enamel pearls.
