Hemisection and vital treatment of a fused tooth--literature review and case report

M Hülsmann et al. Endod Dent Traumatol. 1997 Dec.

Abstract

Fusion and gemination of permanent teeth are developmental anomalies of the dental hard tissues which may require endodontic and surgical treatment for functional, orthodontic or aesthetic reasons. Following a review of the dental literature on tooth fusion and gemination, a case of fusion of a maxillary central incisor and a supernumerary tooth and its endodontic and surgical treatment is presented.
