Abstract EN
Concrescence is a form of twinning, formed by the confluence of cementum of two teeth at the root level.
The diagnosis of concrescence has largely relied on the conventional 2D imaging.
The 2D imaging has inherent limitations such as distortion and superimposition.
Cone-Beam CT eliminates these limitations.
The aim of this article was to describe a case of dental abnormality using Cone-Beam CT imaging modality.
Volumetric data demonstrated confluence of left mandibular third molar with a paramolar, a supernumerary tooth.
To our knowledge, this is the second case in the dental literature reported demonstrating the use of Cone-Beam CT in the diagnosis of concrescence.
