This article describes a clinic case about Dens in Dent in twenty one tooth with pulp necrosis and asymptomatic apical periodontitis. Cone Beam Computerized Tomography was requested, the image helped to classify the kind of Dens in Dent which is type II according to Oehlers´s classifi cation. It is instrumented, irrigated with ultrasound and sealed with “continuous wave of heat “technique. This technique ensures a radiographic success with six months of evolution. Currently, thanks to diagnostic methods and treatment aids such as ultrasound, gutta-percha injection system more effi cient treatments can be offered in endodontic therapeutics.
