Abstract This report presents a rare case of concurrence of dens evaginatus and dental fusion affecting the maxillary right upper central incisor of a 9-year-old male patient. An association of dens evaginatus and dental fusion within the same tooth is rare. In this case, an orthopantomogram, a lateral cephalogram, intraoral radiographs, and a magnetic resonance tomogram were made to obtain a proper diagnosis and to confirm the exact path of the root canals. Because of a forced bite, an orthodontic treatment involving cusp reduction was initiated. During the cusp reduction, no traumatic intraoperative exposure of pulp tissue occurred, and no endodontic or surgical treatment procedures were necessary. After a multibracket treatment, a harmonious integration of the tooth in the upper dental arch was achieved.

Impaction of maxillary central incisors is frequent in dental practice. However its management is challenging because of its importance in aesthetics. Supernumerary teeth are the most common dental anomaly that can cause impaction of adjacent teeth, crowding, diastema, rotation and displacement of teeth. We report a case of 13 year old male with an impacted supernumerary tooth in the maxillary anterior region, which was interfering with the eruption of the permanent, left central incisor. The impacted supernumerary tooth was surgically removed. With the application of an orthodontic traction, impacted left maxillary central incisor was brought down to its proper position in the dental arch.

ABSTRACT Aim This clinical report presents a rare case of maxillary central incisor with two separate roots. Background Unusual morphology of the roots and root canals may exist in any tooth. Recognition of the dental anatomy and its variations is necessary for successful endodontic therapy. It is well known that maxillary incisors are usually single-rooted teeth. Case report The root canals were instrumented with conventional hand files and Gates Glidden and obturated by using the lateral technique. Recall radiograph after 1 year shows the healing process of the preoperative apical periodontitis. Conclusion and clinical significance Clinicians should be aware of unexpected root canal morphology when performing root canal therapy. The present case demonstrated the importance of accurate preoperative radiograph and adequate access preparation. How to cite this article Maghsoudlou A, Jafarzadeh H, Forghani M.

Supernumerary teeth are a relatively frequent disorder of odontogenesis characterized by an excess number of teeth. Mesiodens is the most common type of supernumerary teeth found in the premaxilla between the two central incisors. They can be supplemental (resembling natural teeth), conical, tuberculate, or molariform. We present a rare case of 41 year old male patient who presented with bilateral mesiodens. Key words: Mesiodens; supernumerary teeth; maxillary central incisor DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjms.v10i4.9503 BJMS 2011; 10 (4): 287-288
