Fusion of Left Primary Mandibular Lateral Incisor and Canine in a Seven Year Old Male Child: A Case Report
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Double or fusion of the teeth is a primary developmental anomaly union of two independently developing primary or permanent teeth. The tooth fusion may contribute to various significant problems such as crowding, caries and periodontal diseases and they may be associated with anomalies in the succeeding permanent dentition which necessitate careful examination & proper treatment planning because treatment of these anomalies is clinically demanding. Fused teeth require an interdisciplinary approach combining the endodontic, esthetic and prosthetic treatments. We report a case on fusion of left mandibular deciduous lateral incisor and canine in a seven year old male child. Keywords: Double teeth, dental anomaly, fusion, gemination
