Abstract

Gemination and fusion are different tooth abnormalities which present almost the same clinical appearance. Bilateral dental fusion in the primary dentition is a rare dental anomaly. When it involves the mandibular primary incisors and has no effect on the developing permanent dentition, the event becomes even more unique. In this case report, the dental treatment of 5 patients who have fusion and gemination’s teeth, reffered to Gülhane Military Medical Academy, Dental Science Center, Department of Pedodontics, was presented.
