Dental Anomalies in the Past: Fusion, Gemination, and Talon Cusp in Two Archeological Samples.

Background: Disruption in odontogenesis can influence the normal development of both deciduous and permanent dentition resulting in anomalies in morphology, number, and position of teeth. Although dental anomalies are frequently reported in clinical practice, their occurrence in past populations from archeological contexts is rarely acknowledged.

Aim: To describe two cases of dental anomalies on two non-adult individuals from Italian archeological sites.
