Images in Medicine: Triplicated Primary Anterior Teeth - A Report of Two Cases.

Abstract

Fusion is the union of two separate tooth buds during their development. The pulp chamber and root canal may be joined or separated, depending on the stage of development at the time of union [1]. Though fusion between two teeth is a common finding in primary dentition, occurrence of tooth triplet due to fusion of three teeth is a relatively rare occurrence with the reported prevalence of 0.02% in the primary dentition [2]. This paper presents two cases of unilateral triplication of primary anterior teeth due to fusion of primary anterior teeth with a supernumerary tooth.
