Double tooth – gemination or fusion and diagnostic confusions: A case report with clinical considerations

Dr. Lidiya Thomas, Dr. Vasanti Jirge, Dr. Anjana Bagewadi

Abstract :

Developmental anomalies of teeth are a common clinical picture in dental practice. The most common developmental disorders characterized by alterations in morphology and number of teeth are gemination and fusion. There is always a diagnostic dilemma between gemination and fusion when teeth are congenitally missing or supernumerary teeth are present.
