Management of Fused Tooth with Localized Gingival Growth - A Rare Entity
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Dental Advancements - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 3
Abstract
Fusion is a developmental anomaly characterized by the union of two adjacent teeth. In the present article, a rare case of fusion involving two permanent maxillary lateral incisors is reported. The rarity, with which this entity appears, along with its complex characteristics, often makes it difficult to treat. The endodontic management of one such tooth is described here along with the successful treatment of a periradicular lesion.
