Résumé

Tooth fusion is a developmental dental anomaly that may affect both the deciduous and permanent dentition. Such anomalies may cause problems such as caries, periodontal disease or even esthetic impairments, which will require intervention. In the present case, a young patient was referred to the periodontal clinic for management of bilateral mandibular fused teeth as part of the orthodontic treatment. On the lower right, the teeth involved were incompletely fused involving only the cervical region. On the lower left, the two teeth were completely fused from the crown to the apex. A surgical resection was carried out on the fused teeth on the right, while the fused teeth on the left was undisturbed. Orthodontic treatment was later carried out to align both the upper and lower arch. The patient was satisfied with treatment outcome.
