D)dens in dente.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unusually large open contacts called diastemas often occur in this area because of variations in the size and shape of the lateral incisor and its position in the arch.
Maxillary lateral incisors that are abnormally pointed or tapered in shape are referred to as pegged laterals.
Fused laterals are teeth that are fused together,forming one large tooth with two pulp cavities.
Dens in dente is an anomaly where the tooth forms within itself,forming an abnormally deep lingula pit.The anomaly may require endodontic therapy.
