Hey Chet, it's hard to say for sure without seeing the dent but it's very possible the dent wouldn't affect anything but it also is possible it will prevent the shock from functioning. If I were you I would just keep an eye on it and see if the performance changes or if you see fluid start to seep out of it. We have a replacement with the part # LC177223.
Where did the dent come from?
