Bilateral fusion of mandibular second molars with supernumerary teeth: case report

Fusão bilateral dos segundos molares inferiores com dente supranumerário: relato de caso

Abstract

Fusion is a developmental anomaly characterized by the union of two adjacent teeth. In this article we report a rare case of bilateral fusion of permanent mandibular second molars with supernumerary teeth. The rarity with which this entity appears, along with its complex characteristics, often make it difficult to treat. The endodontic management of one tooth is described, as well as the successful treatment of a periradicular lesion.
