This paper presents a case report of an immature maxillary lateral incisor with type II dens invaginatus, with a periapical lesion. The tooth was treated with MTA apical barrier followed by root filling with thermoplasticised GP and restoration with resin composite. Three-year radiographic follow-up showed healing of the apical lesion and normal clinical parameters.
