“…Ectopic irruption corresponds to the deviation from the usual path of eruption of the tooth, which commonly occurs in the maxillary canines and first permanent molars [29,30]. In this study, ectopic irruption reached 27.9% of the sample, a finding that was discordant with the study with Indian population [4] (7.9%) and Saudi Arabia children [16] (2.3%). In 4% of the children, the upper first molar "errates" its trajectory, with an irruptive deviation in the mesial direction, promoting the partial resorption of the root of the second deciduous molars [30], a change observed in this study in 47.6% of all ectopias found.…”

“…There are a myriad of expressions of dental agenesis, including microdontia, deviations in dental morphology and ectopic [1]. Dental developmental anomalies may have their etiology related by factors of traumatic nature, genetic and environmental factors in particular during the stages of morphodifferentiation or histodifferentiation of dental development, these changes in odontogenesis being characterized as deviations from normality [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8].…”

Objective: To identify the dental anomalies that can modify the occlusal characteristics and their distribution in these occlusal alterations in the skeletal patterns of children. Material and Methods: We analyzed charts, panoramic and periapical radiographs of children aged 5 to 12 years from 2009 to 2012. The facial pattern was evaluated through subjective face analysis and cephalometric data, as well as the occlusion of patients with and without (control) dental anomalies. The relationship between the presence of dental anomalies and malocclusion was analyzed by the Chi-square test with significance level of 5%. Results: 73 children (27.8%) presented dental anomalies, being 49.3% in girls and 50.7% in boys in a total of 88 teeth involved. Anomalies observed in decreasing order were: enamel hypoplasias, eruptive ectopias, agenesis, supernumerary teeth, corono-radicular dilaceration, microdontia, transposition and imperfect amelogenesis. Of these, 22.2% presented associated dental anomalies, whose ectopic eruption with enamel hypoplasia were the most frequently encountered. When comparing the control group with children with dental abnormalities it was observed a significant relationship between the presence of dental anomalies and malocclusion (p<0.05). The most frequent alteration among patients with dental anomalies was deep overbite (24.6%), followed by crowding (23.3%), posterior crossbite (14.2%), anterior open bite (12.9%) and anterior crossbite (0.3%). Conclusion: Dental dysgenesis interferes with the development of occlusion and the resulting occlusal problems are distributed differently, taking into account the skeletal facial pattern in patients with and without dental anomalies.

“…This observation holds good with other studies reported since fusion in primary dentition are usually unilateral [ 12 ]. However, in some cases, bilateral fusion was also observed as reported by Gupta et al [ 7 , 13 ]. According to the literature, a large tooth with incisal notching, labial or palatal grooving, or radiographic evidence of a separate or fused pulp chamber, or root, was recorded in southern Chinese and Mongoloid population studies in permanent dentition [ 14 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 , 19 , 20 ] but fusion of unilateral canine and lateral incisors in primary dentition have not been reported in any cases in Saudi Arabia.…”

“…The prevalence of fusion in primary dentition is 0.5 to 2.5% and is much lesser in permanent teeth [ 6 ]. Tooth fusion may be either complete or incomplete, unilateral or bilateral [ 7 ]. Sometimes, two separate pulp chambers and root canals are observed.…”

Fusion is a congenital disturbance affecting primary dentition mostly during morpho differentiation of the primary tooth germs. Fusion leads to the union of two or more primary teeth by the enamel and dentin while the pulp and roots remain separate. These abnormalities may be unilateral or bilateral. Prompt diagnosis and a treatment plan in such anomalies may help to overcome problems concerning aesthetics, caries susceptibility and space management. This report describes a case of unilateral fusion of the primary mandibular lateral incisor and canine and aims to evaluate any associated pathology.

“…In the present clinical case, there was no family history of tooth fusion. Other reports in the literature have also found no relation between genetic and environmental factors in cases of tooth fusion [6,7,9]. Fusion occurs in the developmental stages of dental morpho-differentiation.…”

Fused teeth are a developmental anomaly involving the union of two dental germs at the crown, root or pulp. This type of anomaly occurs during intraosseous development, resulting in a morphologically irregular tooth that can affect both the primary and permanent dentition. Clinical problems involving esthetics, a lack of space and greater susceptibility to caries are often associated with fused teeth. This type of anomaly is easily confused with dental twinning, which has similar clinical features but emerges from a single dental germ. The aim of the present study was to report a clinical case of the fusion of two deciduous mandibular incisors, describe prospects for treating this anomaly and discuss its repercussions during the development of the dentition. Extraction of the fused tooth was performed and orthodontic treatment was recommended for esthetic and functional improvements. Integrated planning involving both Pediatric Dentistry and Orthodontics provided a better treatment option.
