    Author: Ozden B, Gunduz K, Ozer S, Oz A, Otan Ozden F.
    Journal: Aust Dent J; 2012 Mar; 57(1):98-102. PubMed ID: 22369566.
    Abstract:
    BACKGROUND: A fused maxillary incisor required complex multidisciplinary treatment to preserve health and restore aesthetics. This report presents a rare case of a dental fusion between the maxillary right central incisor and a supernumerary tooth of a 9-year-old male patient with the chief complaint of the presence of a large anterior tooth. METHODS: Radiographic investigation and computerized tomography indicated there was no connection between pulp chambers. After dividing the crown with a diamond bur, the supernumerary tooth was removed and the diastema between the maxillary central incisors was closed by orthodontic treatment. The tooth was then restored with composite resin. RESULTS: The maxillary right central incisor was still healthy after a follow-up examination period of 24 months. CONCLUSIONS: A multidisciplinary approach with the cooperation of different practitioners can contribute to the success of a treatment plan.
