Fusion of teeth.

C L Mader

    Journal of the American Dental Association (1939)
    |January 1, 1979
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study presents three cases of fused teeth, a dental anomaly. It suggests a unified term for teeth joined by dentin to simplify diagnosis due to challenges differentiating fusion from gemination.

    Area of Science:

    • Dentistry
    • Oral Pathology
    • Dental Morphology

    Background:

    • Dental anomalies like fusion present diagnostic challenges.
    • Understanding the etiology and presentation of fused teeth is crucial for effective treatment planning.

    Observation:

    • Presents three clinical case reports detailing instances of fused teeth.
    • Highlights clinical issues associated with fused teeth, including aesthetic concerns, malocclusion, and periodontal disease.

    Findings:

    • Fusion involves the joining of two or more teeth by dentin.
    • Frequent difficulty exists in differentiating fusion from gemination in adult dentitions.

    Implications:

    • Recommends referring to all succedaneous teeth joined by dentin as 'fused teeth'.
    • This standardized terminology aims to improve diagnostic clarity and clinical management of these dental anomalies.
