CBCT in endodontic treatment of fused second and third mandibular molars

چکیده
The aim of this article is to report a rare anatomic case and the contribution of new technologies in best resolving it. Fusion is defined as the union of two separate tooth germs at any stage of tooth development. Planning treatment for this condition can be difficult and requires all diagnostic means available. A 45-year-old female patient presenting with a fused second and third molar underwent endodontic treatment and direct restoration after CBCT imaging revealed a direct relationship between the two germs. The treatment was successful once the correct diagnosis had been made. Figure 1. Initial clinical situation. Observe the plaque in the lingual side in the fusion area and discoloration due to caries. Figure 2. Initial X-ray situation.
