fusion is a developmental anomaly defined as the :union: of two normally separated tooth buds or the partial splitting of one tooth bud into two buds. depending on the stage of development, fusion may be either complete or incomplete. the significance of this particular case was that this fusion occurred in a posterior permanent mandibular tooth, while such a manifestation is more reported in m...

an accurate diagnosis of the morphology of the root canal system is a pre-requisite for successful root canal treatment. frequently, root canals are left untreated because the clinicians fail to identify their presence, particularly in teeth that have anatomical variations or additional root canals. in this report a maxillary lateral incisor with two roots has been described.

dental anomalies are rare findings that may affect development of occlusion and early intervention may be required. here, a case of multiple anomalies in primary and perma nent dentitions is reported. the patient referred to the dental center with the chief complaint of multiple tooth decay. in the oral examination, the rare case of triplica tion between the right geminated man-dibular a and ri...

3 Introduction noticed in whale's tooth by Ploquet in 1794. Salter first described this anatomical anomaly Dens invaginatus is a dental anomaly as “a tooth within tooth” in 1855, and was the which results from invagination of enamel first person who described dens invaginatus in organ into dental papilla, beginning at the 3 ,4 human tooth in 1856. Clinically, a crown and sometimes extending int...

Tooth agenesis is the failure of tooth bud development, causing definitive absence of the tooth. It is the most common dental anomaly, affecting up to one-quarter of the general population. The main cause is related to abnormal function of specific genes which play key roles during odontogenesis, particularly MSX1 and PAX9. MSX1 is a transcription factor highly expressed in the mesenchyme of...

Talon cusp is a developmental anomaly seen on the lingual surface of anterior teeth. Gemination is an anomaly caused by a single tooth germ that attempted to divide during its development. These developmental anomalies may cause clinical problems including esthetic impairment, pain, caries and tooth crowding. This paper presents an unusual case of gemination accompanied by talon cusp in permane...

Gemination is an anomaly caused by a single tooth germ that attempted to divide during its development resulting in a bifid crown. They are found more frequently in the primary than in the permanent dentition unilaterally, but bilateral gemination is very rare. It is caused by complex interactions among a variety of genetic and environmental factors. This developmental anomaly may cause clinica...

The talon cusp is a developmental anomaly characterized by the presence of an accessory cusp like structure projecting from the cingulum area of the anterior teeth. Gemination is an anomaly caused by a single tooth germ that attempted to divide during its development. These developmental anomalies may cause clinical problems including esthetic impairment, pain, caries and tooth crowding. Co-occ...

Gemination or Schizodontism, a relatively uncommon dental anomaly, is characterized by a tooth with a bifid crown and a common root and root canal. It is commonly seen in primary dentition and gemination in a supernumerary tooth is a rare phenomenon. The purpose of this paper is to present an unusual case wherein gemination has occurred in a lingually placed mandibular supernumerary third premo...
