“…Double teeth are dental anomalies concerning tooth morphology and are classified into fusion and gemination, which are similar anomalies of shape that have different etiologies [9,10]. Fusion is the union of one or more teeth during development, while gemination occurs when two separate morphological units are created by the division of the tooth germ [11].…”

Tooth fusion is a dental anomaly with a prevalence of 0.1% in permanent dentition. The aim of this paper is to present the occurrence, region of fusion, and prognosis of fused tooth which is a very rare case in the literature. The authors present a very rare case with a maxillary right lateral incisor fused to a supernumerary tooth on the palatal side. The eruption was delayed, but eruption occurred naturally at 9 years and 6 months. However, cone-beam computed tomography at 11 years and 6 months revealed it was diagnosed as a fused tooth. The authors undertook a literature review over the past 10 years and found 30 articles about fused teeth between permanent teeth and supernumerary teeth. It was more common in males than females and there were no differences depending on the occurrence. Mesiodistal fusion was more common in the incisor region, while labiopalatal fusion was more common in the molar region. Most cases required dental treatment with a surgical approach, root canal treatment, or orthodontic treatment. The present study highlights the importance of long-term follow-up and suggests the region of fusion and prognosis of the fused tooth may vary depending on the occurrence.

Objective Vascular anomalies are often associated with hypertrophy and asymmetry of soft tissues and bony structures. The aim of this retrospective cross-sectional radiographic study was to evaluate dental maturation and development in patients with facial vascular anomalies and congenital infiltrating lipomatosis. Design A sample of 342 patients with different vascular anomalies or congenital infiltrating lipomatosis involving the head and neck area was narrowed down to 31 patients with dental panoramic radiographs taken in the mixed dentition. A control group of 172 age-matched healthy subjects was used. Individual permanent teeth were given a maturation score from 1 to 12 and alveolar eruption stage according to Haavikko et al. 1970. The laterality of the anomaly was noted if applicable. Differences in dental development between affected and unaffected sides were recorded. Results The study data included both syndromic and non-syndromic vascular anomalies as well as congenital infiltrating lipomatosis and segmental odontomaxillary dysplasia. Teeth on the side of the anomaly were more developed and the eruption of teeth was accelerated with canines, premolars and second molars being most affected. Interestingly all the patients with Sturge-Weber syndrome (n = 4) and infiltrating lipomatosis (n = 2) showed accelerated dental maturation of multiple permanent teeth on the side of the anomaly. Hypodontia, dental root resorption and macrodontia were also found. Conclusions Accelerated development and eruption of permanent teeth unilaterally in patients with vascular anomalies and congenital infiltrating lipomatosis may have a significant impact on the developing occlusion and should be thus followed by an orthodontist.
