Beware We Are Erupting As Siamese Twins
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2015, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Anomalies of the dentition present real challenges to the Dental Practitioner. Various terms have been used to describe Dental twinning anomalies: Gemination, Fusion, Concrescence, Double teeth, Conjoined teeth, Twinned teeth, Geminifusion and Vicinifusion. Dental anomalies of number and forms may occur both in the primary and permanent Dentition. Fusion is a condition in which the crowns of two separate teeth have been joined together during the crown development. Fusion occurs infrequently but could cause esthetic, spacing and periodontal problems. It may require a hard multidisciplinary approach with Pedodontist, Orthodontics, Endodontics, Surgery and Prosthetics to solve aesthetic and functional problems. The present case report highlights the presence of a primary double tooth in an 8-year-old girl involving both primary right maxillary central and lateral incisor with a discussion of clinical implications and various treatment methods. Cases with primary double tooth necessitate careful examination as they may be associated with anomalies in the succeeding permanent dentition and require proper treatment planning.
