Abstract

The phenomenon of fusion is a type of tooth dysplasia, but few studies have systematically described the treatment of this kind of abnormality. This paper summarizes the treatment methods for fused teeth and classifies the management schemes according to whether the pulp is fused. Then, the treatment for a patient with bilateral anterior tooth fusion is reported. After orthodontic treatment, porcelain veneers were used to restore the normal shape and aesthetic appearance of the anterior teeth.

Keywords: Esthetic restoration; ceramic veneer; double teeth; fused teeth; fusion.
