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.
