Abstract

Introduction: Fusion is a developmental anomaly in which two tooth buds are interconnected. In fusion, teeth are joined by dentine in their developmental stage. Fusion could be between normal teeth or between a normal and a supernumerary tooth. Fusion of the posterior teeth and supernumerary ones are rare.Case Report: A 26 year old woman was referred for extraction of semi impacted third molar. Panoramic radiographs were requested for the patient. In dental radiographs, a supernumerary tooth in distal region of the third molar was observed. Teeth looked like fused teeth. After obtaining consent from the patient, teeth were removed by surgical excision.
