Abstract
Fusion may be defined as a union of two separately developing tooth germs typically leading to one les s tooth than normal in the affected arch. This phenomenon has been described by several different terms, such as ge mination, double teeth and twinning. Factors which have been implicated as possible etiologies for fused teeth i nclude hypervitaminosis, pressure from physical contact of young tooth buds, and genetic factors. This articl e reports two cases of unilateral fused primary maxillary incisor s in siblings, with a discussion covering further e laboration of definitions of gemination and fusion, clinical impl ementation and review of literature.
