Abstract

Objective: Fusion is a developmental anomaly of the teeth. It is dened as the union of two independently developing primary or permanent teeth. Aberrations in morpho differentiation stage of tooth development leads to abnormal forms and sizes of teeth. This paper reports a rare case of bilateral fusion of mandibular primary rst molar and canine. A 10 year old boy reported with the chief complaint of difculty in chewing due to mobility of teeth in lower back teeth region. Intraoral, radiographic and histopathological examinations indicated fusion of mandibular deciduous canine and deciduous rst molar on both sides. According to the treatment plan, the fused teeth were extracted. Fusion of teeth is caused by various etiological factors, can be diagnosed by amalgamation of clinical, radiological and histopathological examinations and can be treated by multidisciplinary approach. Accurate diagnosis of dental anomalies helps in prompt treatment, which in turn avoids future orthodontic complications and better prognosis.
