Hemisection and vital treatment of a fused tooth – literature review and case report

Abstract: Fusion and gemination of permanent teeth are developmental anomalies of the dental hard tissues which may require endodontic and surgical treatment for functional, orthodontic or aesthetic reasons. Following a review of the dental literature on tooth fusion and gemination, a case of fusion of a maxillary central incisor and a supernumerary tooth and its endodontic and surgical treatment is presented.

“…Turell and Zmener (3) described a case of fusion involving a mandibular third molar and fourth molar (distomolar). Unfortunately, most of these fusions require surgical removal because of their abnormal morphology and excessive mesiodistal width, which cause problems with spacing, alignment and function (6,8). In the anterior region this anomaly also causes an unpleasant aesthetic tooth shape due to the irregular morphology.…”

“…24 Füzyonlu dişler sıklıkla tek ve geniş bir krona sahip olsalar da iki ayrı kök kanal sistemine de sahip olabilmektedir. 20 Füzyonlu dişlerde estetik veya ortodontik sorun oluştuğu durumlarda, iki ayrı kök kanalı mevcut ise füzyonlu dişin rezeksiyonu dü-şünülebilir. 25 Bu olguda öncelikle paramolar dişe kavite açılmış, kök kanallarının birleşik olabileceği düşünülerek ardından molar dişe de kavite açılarak iki kavite birleştirilmiştir.…”
