“…The prevalence of connated teeth in the permanent dentition is approximately 0·2%[4], in the primary dentition it ranges from 0·4%[5] to 0·9%[6]. Some evidence suggests that these numbers are higher among Native Americans, as noted by Curzon and Curzon [6] who found a prevalence of 3·7% of connated primary teeth in Native American children.…”

Connated teeth are the consequences of developmental anomalies leading to the eruption of joined elements. According to current definitions, gemination occurs when one tooth bud tries to divide, while fusion occurs if two buds unite. Clinical experience shows, however, that diagnosis can be complicated due to superimposed anomalies. This report describes a unique case of bilateral fusion of permanent mandibular incisors and discusses the differential diagnosis and possible future treatment options anticipated for this particular case.

“…The incidence of unilateral double teeth ranges from 0.4% to 2.5% in the deciduous dentition and is approximately 0.2% in the permanent dentition. The bilateral occurrence is estimated to be 0.02% in both dentitions [ 21 , 23 , 24 ]. There seems to be a lower incidence of double teeth in Caucasians than in Asians.…”

“…There seems to be a lower incidence of double teeth in Caucasians than in Asians. The etiology remains idiopathic, but it is speculated that double teeth occur due to genetic factors, metabolic problems during dental formation, traumas, or inflammatory processes [ 23 , 25 , 26 ].…”

Objective. The objective of this paper is to report a dental fusion case focusing on clinical and radiographic features for the diagnosis. Method. To report a case of right maxillary lateral incisor fusion and a supernumerary tooth, the anatomy of the root canal and dental united portion were assessed by cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Results. The clinical examination showed dental juxtaposition with the absence of interdental papilla and esthetic impairment in the right maxillary lateral incisor region. The periapical radiography did not provide enough information for the differential diagnosis due to the inherent limitations of this technique. CBCT confirmed the presence of tooth fusion. Conclusion. CBCT examination supports the diagnosis and provides both the identification of changes in tooth development and the visualization of their extent and limits.
