Concrescence of A Maxillary Third Molar And Second Molar: Report of A Rare Case
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 5
Abstract
Concrescence is an uncommon developmental anomaly in which teeths are united in the cementum but not in the dentin. The incidence of concrescent teeth is reported to be highest in the posterior maxilla. The cardinal radiological sign of concrescence is close proximity of adjacent teeth with no detectable intervening periodontal ligament space. if difficulty is encountered while extracting a tooth in the maxillary posterior region, to avoid the complications such as fracture of tuberosity or floor of maxillary sinus. Routine radiographs should be taken prior to extractions, to avoid any such complications and to alter the treatment plan.
