Fusion of teeth is a developmental anomaly. It occurs at the stage of tooth formation, which determines the shape and size of the tooth crown, when one or more teeth fuse at the dentin level during the morphodifferentiation of the dental germs. Such teeth show macrodontia and may cause crowding, as well as esthetic and endodontic problems. In this article, we report a rare case of a maxillary central incisor fused to a supernumerary tooth showing labial and palatal talon cusps, which was orthodontically moved across the midpalatal suture. A 13-year-old Caucasian boy sought treatment for the unesthetic appearance of his maxillary central incisor and anterior crowding. He was rehabilitated successfully via a multidisciplinary approach involving orthodontic, nonsurgical endodontic, periodontal, and prosthodontic treatments. After a 26-month treatment period, the patient's macroesthetics and microesthetics were improved. The overall improvement of this macrodontic tooth and its surrounding tissues through multidisciplinary treatment was documented using cone-beam computed tomography.

“…These pulp capped teeth were still vital at 42 and 48 months, respectively. In three cases, the tooth was extracted before being hemisected and then replanted 10,29,32 with the root filling also carried out extra‐orally in two of these 29,32 . Both cases reported a successful outcome at 6 years 32 and 5.5 years 29 clinically and radiographically.…”

“…The reduction of mesiodistal dimensions with intraoral or extraoral hemisection of the tooth or the root with intentional dental replantation was illustrated by numerous case reports [23, 25]. Intentional replantation is a technique aimed mainly at the resolution of endodontic pathosis impossible to treat by conventional orthograde endodontic therapy, and with contraindications for apical surgery.…”

Fused teeth may cause aesthetic, spacing, periodontal, eruption, and caries problems. The present case report describes a 7-year-old boy patient with a chief complaint of unerupted maxillary incisor. Radiographic examination indicated a fused tooth which had two fused roots but two independent root canals. A complex management of a fused tooth is really difficult to standardize. In this case an orthodontic, endodontic, and surgical treatment (intentional replantation) allowed the tooth to be retained until 18 years following intervention. Maintenance of the root and alveolar bone in young adults at least until full skeletal maturation should be the main treatment objective.

Endodontic and orthodontic treatment of a cross-bite fused maxillary lateral incisor

Abstract: Fusion has been described as a development anomaly characterized by the union of two adjacent teeth. Proper combined endodontic and orthodontic treatment resulted in maintaining one tooth half and solving the aesthetic and functional problem of a fused tooth.
