Management of synodontia between dilacerated permanent maxillary central incisor and supernumerary tooth with aid of cone-beam computed tomography

Abstract: A malformed tooth characterized by one or more developmental disturbances is often difficult to treat. When such teeth are present in anterior region, they pose a technical challenge for the clinician to restore esthetics as well as function. This case describes endodontic, surgical, and restorative management of fused and dilacerated maxillary central incisor. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) was used in the present case to aid in understanding of complicated tooth morphology and managing the case success… Show more

“…These patients showed dilacerated teeth and other dental anomalies: tooth agenesis, taurodontism, enamel hypomaturation, microdontia, screwdriver central incisors, peg-shaped lateral incisors, enamel hypoplasia, short roots, atypical furcation of the roots, and supernumerary roots. Also, there are published three isolated cases on simultaneous appearance of dilacerated teeth with supernumeraries, tooth transposition and tooth fusion (19-21).…”

“…Bilateral supplemental permanent maxillary lateral incisors in the absence of any syndrome have also been reported [15]. Occlusal and periapical radiographs aid in localizing the supernumerary teeth in the incisor region, where they appear most commonly as suggested by Rajab et al and Mahboob et al [8,16] Use of recent diagnostic aids such as cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with 3D imaging provides clear and three dimensional images and assist in exact location and successful management of supernumerary tooth as reported by Das et al [17,18] Measurement on CBCT images should be considered as important by clinicians during the treatment planning to decrease the risk of complications [19]. Piezosurgery technique can be advocated to remove deeply impacted supernumerary tooth in the anterior maxillary region instead of conventional labial or palatal surgical approach.…”

“…Intraoral periapical radiographs are insufficient for understanding the morphology of roots and its canal systems in fused teeth. [ 25 ] Moreover, it was difficult to interpret the same with the help of the orthopantomograph. CBCT that can produce three-dimensional images of oral structures are helpful particularly in such cases.…”
