Hemisection of Primary Fused Tooth: A Case Report
Keywords:
Primary fused tooth, Permanent tooth aplasia, HemisectionAbstract
Fused tooth is an anomaly characterized by a union between the dentine and/or enamel of 2 or more separate developing teeth. Fused tooth in the primary dentition is more frequently observed in the mandibular lateral incisor and canine. The most common complication of primary fused tooth is permanent tooth aplasia in that area. One of interesting managements of fused tooth is hemisection. This case report presented hemisection in primary fused tooth. The remainder of the tooth was still healthy and could keep space for permanent tooth after a follow up examination period of 24 months. Hemisection can be considered as an appropriate treatment alternative for primary fused tooth.
