“…They appear to follow preferential morphological patterns during formation, preferably involving maxillary central and lateral incisors and mandibular lateral incisors and canines. Cases in the molar/premolar region are rare, and when found are usually in permanent teeth (Turell & Zmener 1999, Nahmias & Rampado 2002). The incidence of unilateral occurrence is estimated in the literature to be 0.5% in the deciduous and 0.1% in the permanent dentition.…”

Double tooth is a dental irregularity consequent to fusion of two or more teeth or dental gemination. The teeth most commonly involved are deciduous, but in 0.1% of cases permanent teeth are affected, in which case aesthetic, functional and periodontal problems can result. This paper reports a clinical case of a double tooth in the position of the maxillary right lateral permanent incisor. Combined orthodontic, endodontic and surgical treatment (intentional replantation) allowed the tooth to be retained without periodontal compromise and with a positive orthodontic result both immediately and 6 years following intervention. *A conservative approach that addresses periodontal, pulpal and tooth tissues, can result in the retention of a double tooth. *Maintenance of the root and alveolar bone in young adults at least until full skeletal maturation should be the main treatment objective.

“…Such teeth unite at dentin and enamel levels to have one crown and one root canal [2][3][4][5]8]. Mochizuki et al [10] and Nahmias et al [11] also describe triple teeth, but these seem to be geminated teeth considering their pathogenetic mechanism. Geminated teeth do not lead to a smaller number of teeth in the dental arch unless they cause maleruption or impaction of other teeth or there are other concomitant defects or disorders.…”

AbstractThe aim of the study was to evaluate 10-years of clinical material referring to the rare dental abnormality of double teeth. The study material consisted of case records, operation-books and radiographic or photographic documentation on patients treated in the Department of Oral Surgery, Silesian Medical University, Katowice, from the 1st of June 2000 to the 31st of May 2010. The following features were considered important: age and sex, the reason why the patient reported for treatment, general state of health, the time of recognition and type of double teeth, location of double teeth, complaints and disturbances connected with double teeth, types of radiographs, the radiographic and macroscopic appearance of double teeth and treatment method. Diagnoses were as follows: eight conrescent teeth, two fused teeth, two geminated teeth and one invaginated tooth. The anomaly of a deciduous tooth was referred to in one case only. Double teeth were most often seen in the region of maxillary incisors and molars but rarely in the mandible. The region of incisors was affected chiefly in children and the region of molars in adults. Double incisors are usually recognized prior to treatment whereas double molars as late as during their extraction. In many cases, neither intraoral radiographs nor pantomographs help to confirm double teeth or provide sufficient information to plan the treatment. In such a situation, CT or CBCT should be used in addition to imaging diagnostics. Double teeth among incisors are usually accompanied by occlusal disorders. Therefore the therapeutic management is conducted by a team, including orthodontists.
