Question: 1 / 400

Dens in dente is most commonly associated with which teeth?

Molars

Premolars

Canines

Anterior teeth

Dens in dente is a genetic dental abnormality in which the tooth has a small, deep pit or invagination in the crown or root. This pit can increase the risk of tooth decay and can affect any tooth, but it is most commonly associated with the anterior teeth, or the incisors and canines. This is because the enamel layer on these teeth is thinner compared to the molars and premolars, making them more susceptible to pits and invaginations. Therefore, options A, B, and C are incorrect as dens in dente is not typically associated with these teeth.
