Abstract

Gemination is a rare dental anomaly of single tooth bud dividing into two crowns and two root canals, that may also be named as ‘double teeth’. This is as a result of their peculiar, twin-like presentation. Teeth with these anomalies could show up clinically as bulbous shaped with peculiar architecture and fissure patterns. While there is uncertainty regarding the precise cause of these aberrations, numerous possible local or systemic disruptions during the morpho-differentiation stage of odontogenesis have been taken into consideration. This report presents a case of a geminated maxillary primary right central incisor and explains the significance of early detection and identification of these teeth in order to give appropriate treatment and preventative care.
