Abstract
A rare case of fusion between maxillary primary central incisors and supplemental teeth occurring bilaterally, accompanied by succedaneous supernumerary teeth, is presented. The patient was an 8.5-year-old Japanese boy. Intraoral examination revealed fusion of left and right maxillary primary central incisors to supplemental teeth, which had labial and lingual grooves. The maxillary primary lateral incisors were present. Radiographs showed that the fused teeth had separate roots, pulp chambers and root canals. There were two impacted supernumerary teeth and eruption of the permanent maxillary central incisors was delayed. Treatment was performed and the fused primary teeth and the impacted supernumerary teeth were extracted. After 6 months observation, surgical exposure of the two crowns of the permanent maxillary central incisors was performed. The teeth began to erupt and have since been kept under observation.
