Fusion is a developmental anomaly characterized by the union of two normally separated tooth buds resulting in the formation of a large tooth with confluence of dentin. The fused crown is broader than the adjacent non - fused teeth and thus resembles gemination. This tooth can be identified by counting the number of teeth in the dentition. Fusion occurs in both primary and permanent dentition with higher frequency in the anterior and maxillary region. Although the rate is variable in individual reports, the overall prevalence appears to be approximately 0.5% in primary dentition .The bilateral cases are less frequent with a prevalence rate of 0.02% in both dentitions. Here, we report a classic case of bilateral fusion of primary mandibular incisor in a 3 year old female patient who required a dental attention. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
