Triplication of primary teeth, a rare dental anomaly, involves three teeth fused together. Microscopic examination revealed enamel and dentin grooves, irregular fusion, and confluent dentin and cementum in this unique case.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Oral pathology
Developmental biology

Background:

Conjoined dental anomalies are rare, affecting less than 1% of the population.
Triplication of primary teeth is an exceptionally rare condition with a prevalence of 0.02%.

Observation:

This study details the clinical presentation and light microscopic findings of a rare case of triplicated primary teeth.
The fused teeth were analyzed using light microscopy to determine the nature of the fusion area.

Findings:

Microscopic examination revealed enamel and dentin grooves within the fusion area.
The fusion was irregular, with confluent dentin and cementum observed between the teeth.

Implications:

Early identification of conjoined dental anomalies by clinicians is crucial.
