Oct 20, 2012 · Tooth Fusion is when two tooth buds fuse together to make one large wide crown. The fused tooth will have two independent pulp chambers and root canals. The fusion will start at the top of the crown and travel possibly to the apex of the root. When a dentist counts the teeth, they notice that there is a missing tooth. Fusion can also occur also ...

Fusion teeth, also known as dental fusion, is a condition where two teeth are joined together forming a single larger tooth. This dental anomaly can occur in both primary teeth and permanent teeth, though it is more commonly seen in primary teeth.

Gemination and fusion occur most commonly in the upper front teeth. However, it can also occur on the lower teeth as well. As a general rule, if a double tooth is located in the upper teeth, it is probably gemination and if the double tooth is found in the lower teeth, then it is probably fusion.

Tooth fusion (also known as syndontia or double teeth) occurs when two separate tooth germs fuse to form one tooth. [1] The fusion may be complete (involves crown and root) or partial (involves only the crown), depending on the stage of tooth development when the …

Primary double teeth (PDT), referring to either gemination or fusion, are one of the most important and frequent developmental dental anomalies that can affect children's oral health. Many clinical complications are correlated with these anomalies, ...

Tooth fusion happens when two adjacent tooth buds begin to develop separately and join in the final tooth development stage. The fused, enlarged tooth takes up as much room in the mouth as two separate teeth. The exact cause of gemination is unknown.

Double teeth share the same dentin or even pulp, and are caused by gemination or fusion. More common in the upper front teeth, gemination and fusion can also develop in the lower teeth. Double teeth cause concern, because they can lead to …

Fused teeth might contain separate pulp canals or share a common pulp canal. Fusion can happen between two normal teeth or between a normal tooth and a supernumerary tooth. The crown appears large and lacks any distinct groove, forming a complete fusion with a pulp chamber that appears normal.

Fused/geminated teeth may cause esthetic, spacing, periodontal, eruption and caries problems. The present study describes two clinical cases of similar dental fusion and compromises different and individualized treatment methods based on the proper treatment needs of a patient.

Fused teeth usually show no adverse signs or symptoms except for occasional alteration of tooth alignment or occlusion. This article describes the compre hensive, multidisciplinary treatment of a patient with bilateral fusion of permanent maxillary central incisors with supernumerary incisors.
