Daimi Dentisyonda Görülen Süpernümere Dişlerin Üçlü Füzyonu: Nadir Bir Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

The word 'synodontia or fusion' means union of two or more teeth that affects both primary and permanent dentition. Although double teeth are relatively common with a reported prevalence ranging from 0.1% to 1.55%; the union of three teeth, named as triple teeth or triplication, is rarely encountered in the primary dentition with a prevalence of 0.02%. Prevalence of triple teeth is well documented in primary dentition, but its occurrence in permanent dentition is a rare phenomenon. This article reports an unusual case of triplication of three supernumerary teeth in permanent dentition associated with periapical pathology in a 10-year-old male patient along with its clinical and radiographic features illustrated using dental volumetric tomography imaging.
