Abstract:
Fusion is a rare developmental problem involving the union of two adjacent teeth. This occurs with a
prevalence of 0.05% (bilateral) and could cause aesthetic, spacing and periodontal problems. The aeti-
ology related to such an anomaly is still uncertain. The present article reports two rare cases with fu-
sion of the mandibular permanent lateral incisors with the canine. The possible treatment options are
also discussed.
