A tooth with a bifid crown clinically gives an appearance of double teeth with a common root canal or rarely has separate canals. Gemination and fusion are clinically appears similar, and they can be differentiated by assessing the number of teeth in the dentition.[ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 ]

Developmental dental disorders may be due to anomalies in tooth number, size, shape and structure. Gemination and fusion are anomalies of shape with close similarity but with different etiology. Thus, they pose diagnostic challenge to clinicians. They are …

Jun 2, 2021 · 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.

Gemination, or twinning, is a rare abnormality in which a single tooth bud tries to divide. 9 Partial division may produce a bifid crown (Figure 32) with a shared pulp canal and root. 9 Complete division, while rare, produces a normal tooth along with a supernumerary tooth (Figure 33). 9 Gemination usually affects the primary teeth but the ...

Tooth gemination is a developmental anomaly characterized by the incomplete division of a single tooth germ, resulting in a bifid crown and a single root canal. This condition can significantly impact both aesthetics and function, necessitating a …

Introduction: Dental gemination is an uncommon developmental anomaly characterized by an enlarged bifid tooth crown. Case Report: This case report presents clinical and radiographic findings of gemination affecting a mandibular left lateral incisor in a 20-year-old female patient.

Jan 10, 2023 · The classification Aguilo et al. is used to describe the type of union between bonded teeth [1], who classified fused teeth based on morphology and degree of fusion as follows (Figure 1): 1. Type I: bifid crown, single root; 2. Type II: large crown, large root; 3. Type III: two fused crowns, double conical root; 4.
