Objectives: To evaluate the frequency of developmental dental anomalies in the Indian population.Methods: This prospective study was conducted over a period of 1 year and comprised both clinical and radiographic examinations in oral medicine and radiology outpatient department. Adult patients were screened for the presence of dental anomalies with appropriate radiographs. A comprehensive clinical examination was performed to detect hyperdontia, talon cusp, fused teeth, gemination, concrescence, hypodontia, dens invaginatus, dens evaginatus, macro- and microdontia and taurodontism. Patients with syndromes were not included in the study.Results: Of the 20,182 patients screened, 350 had dental anomalies. Of these, 57.43% of anomalies occurred in male patients and 42.57% occurred in females. Hyperdontia, root dilaceration, pegshaped laterals (microdontia), and hypodontia were more frequent compared to other dental anomalies of size and shape.Conclusions: Dental anomalies are clinically evident abnormalities. They may be the cause of various dental problems. Careful observation and appropriate investigations are required to diagnose the condition and institute treatment. (Eur J Dent 2010;4:263-269)

Fused teeth may cause aesthetic, spacing, periodontal, eruption, and caries problems. The present case report describes a 7-year-old boy patient with a chief complaint of unerupted maxillary incisor. Radiographic examination indicated a fused tooth which had two fused roots but two independent root canals. A complex management of a fused tooth is really difficult to standardize. In this case an orthodontic, endodontic, and surgical treatment (intentional replantation) allowed the tooth to be retained until 18 years following intervention. Maintenance of the root and alveolar bone in young adults at least until full skeletal maturation should be the main treatment objective.

Dental fusion also called ‘synodontia’ is a rare dental developmental anomaly in which the union of two independently developing primary or permanent tooth buds occurs. Tooth fusion is defined as union between the dentin and / or enamel of two or more separate developing teeth. The fusion may be partial or total depending upon the stage of tooth development at the time of union. The etiology of fusion is still unclear. The overall prevalence of the tooth fusion is approximately 0.5%. Fusion may be unilateral or bilateral and most often occurs in primary teeth with more predilections for anterior teeth. Clinically fused anterior teeth frequently have a groove or notch on the incisal edge that goes in buccolingual direction and radiographically, the dentin of fused teeth always appears to be joined in some region with separate pulp chambers and canals. Hence the cases of fusion of permanent teeth in different ages are presented.Bangladesh Journal of Dental Research and Education Vol.5(2) 2015: 70-72

Objective: Fusion is a developmental anomaly of the teeth. It is dened as the union of two independently developing primary or permanent teeth. Aberrations in morpho differentiation stage of tooth development leads to abnormal forms and sizes of teeth. This paper reports a rare case of bilateral fusion of mandibular primary rst molar and canine. A 10 year old boy reported with the chief complaint of difculty in chewing due to mobility of teeth in lower back teeth region. Intraoral, radiographic and histopathological examinations indicated fusion of mandibular deciduous canine and deciduous rst molar on both sides. According to the treatment plan, the fused teeth were extracted. Fusion of teeth is caused by various etiological factors, can be diagnosed by amalgamation of clinical, radiological and histopathological examinations and can be treated by multidisciplinary approach. Accurate diagnosis of dental anomalies helps in prompt treatment, which in turn avoids future orthodontic complications and better prognosis.
