Abstract
Connated teeth are the consequences of developmental anomalies leading to the eruption of joined elements. According to current definitions, gemination occurs when one tooth bud tries to divide, while fusion occurs if two buds unite. Clinical experience shows, however, that diagnosis can be complicated due to superimposed anomalies. This report describes a unique case of bilateral fusion of permanent mandibular incisors and discusses the differential diagnosis and possible future treatment options anticipated for this particular case.Entities:
