Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Surgery
  • Dental Anomalies

Background:

  • Concrescence, the union of two teeth at the cementum, is a rare dental anomaly.
  • Maxillary posterior teeth are occasionally affected by this developmental disturbance.

Observation:

  • A rare case of concrescence involving two maxillary posterior teeth requiring extraction is presented.
  • The fused teeth presented diagnostic and surgical challenges.

Findings:

  • Successful surgical extraction of the concrescent maxillary posterior teeth was achieved.
  • Histopathological examination confirmed the cemental fusion.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the importance of careful diagnosis and surgical planning for managing fused teeth.
  • Understanding the management of concrescence aids in improving clinical outcomes for rare dental anomalies.
