Case reports published between 1970 and 1995 that describe the characteristics of dens evaginatus of anterior teeth were reviewed. In addition, a radiographic survey of 15,000 anterior teeth was conduced to determine the occurrence of this developmental malformation. In this survey, dens evaginatus was found in about 1% of the anterior dentition and was more frequent in the maxilla, particularly in the lateral incisor. This anomaly was less frequent in the mandible. Case reports published between 1970 and 1995 that describe the characteristics of dens evaginatus of anterior teeth were reviewed.
