DOUBLE TOOTH: REPORT OF TWO UNIQUE CLINICAL CASES.

Double tooth is the general term that is used to describe fusion and gemination in which one tooth is conjoined with another. Fusion is defined as two separately forming teeth joined together while gemination refers to partial development of two teeth from a single tooth bud. In clinical practice fusion and gemination are often confused with one another. This report describes two unique clinical cases of double tooth in maxillary anterior region, and the intent of this report is to facilitate young clinician to differentiate fusion from gemination so that successful diagnosis of double tooth can be reached with certainty.
