Fused teeth represent an abnormality in dental development in which two tooth germs merge in the crown, root, or pulp stages. This anomaly occurs within the bone formation process, resulting in a structurally irregular tooth that can impact both the primary and the permanent dentition. Aesthetic concerns, space limitations, and an increased risk of cavities commonly accompany fused teeth. It's often confused with dental twinning, which shares similar clinical characteristics but originates from a single tooth germ. This study aimed to present a clinical case involving the fusion of two primary mandibular incisors, outlining potential treatment strategies and discussing its effects on dental development. Treatment involved extraction of the fused tooth and recommending orthodontic intervention to enhance both appearance and function. Collaborative planning between Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics facilitated a more effective treatment approach. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
