Abstract EN
Objective.
Fusion is a dental anomaly that arises through the union of two adjacent teeth.
The case report presents multidisciplinary management of a fused maxillary anterior tooth.
Case Report.
A 10-year-old boy was referred to the pediatric dental clinic with the chief complaint of a large upper anterior tooth.
Intraoral and radiographic examinations indicated fusion between the permanent maxillary right central incisor and a supernumerary tooth.
According to the treatment plan, the fused tooth was sectioned, and the mesial portion was removed.
The remaining tooth section was restored with composite resin, and the diastema between the central incisors was closed with orthodontic treatment.
After an 18-month followup period, the tooth showed no sign of pathosis.
Conclusion.
The technique described here offers a simple and effective method for restoring a fused tooth that reestablishes function, shape, and esthetics.
