as long as its not creased, and just a little ping, u should be fairly safe, .. where is the dent, in the middle or on one of the sides or bends..

in the middle of te pan
i guess from shipping

well if its in the middle, it shouldnt be to bad as long as its not hitting antyhing inside, if its to the point to where its creased, u may want to fix it, other then that if its just a surface indent or ding, u should be fine.
