DAİMİ DİŞLERDE FÜZYON: İKİ OLGU SUNUMU

Abstract

Füzyon, iki komşu dişin veya normal diş ile sürnümerer dişin embriyolojik safhada kaynaşmasıyla meydana gelen bir dental anomalidir. Bu anomali, tek taraflı veya çift taraflı olabilir. Hem süt hem de daimi dentisyonu etkileyebilir. Ancak süt dişleri daimi dişlerden daha çok etkilenir. Yaygın olarak anterior bölgede görülür.

Bu olgu sunumunda Ondokuz Mayıs Üniversitesi Diş Hekimliği Fakültesi’ne başvuru yapan üst çene arka bölgede füzyonlu dişlere sahip iki yetişkin hasta ve tedavileri rapor edilmiştir.
