Fusion and gemination are developmental anomalies of teeth that may require endodontic treatment. Fusion may cause various clinical problems related to esthetics, tooth spacing, and other periodontal complications. Additional diagnostic tools are required for the diagnosis and the treatment planning of fused tooth. The present case report describes a case of unilateral fusion of a supernumerary root to an upper permanent central incisor with large periapical lesion in which a conservative approach was used without extraction of supernumerary tooth and obturated with mineral trioxide aggregate to reach a favorable outcome.

Clinical study on deciduous fused teeth and inherited permanent teeth.
Hua Xi Kou Qiang Yi Xue Za Zhi
February 2025
Dept. of Preventive Oral Health, Suzhou Stomatological Hospital, Suzhou 215000, China.
Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the clinical characteristics of deciduous fused teeth and their inherited permanent-tooth performance type by using panoramic radiographs.
Methods: A total of 14 404 panoramic radiographs of 3- to 6-year-old children with deciduous dentition were collected from January 2023 to July 2024. The incidence of deciduous fused teeth was observed, and the abnormality of permanent teeth was recorded.
Loading rate, geometry, and damage state influence vertical extraction biomechanics in an ex vivo swine dental model.

Introduction: Validated models describing the biomechanics of tooth extraction are scarce. This study seeks to perform experimental and numerical characterization of vertical tooth extraction biomechanics in swine incisors with imposed vertical extraction loads. Imaging analysis related mechanical outcomes to tooth geometry and applied loading rate.

Purpose: To compare the effect of post-and-core material type and production technique on the fracture resistance of teeth.
Materials And Methods: Sixty human maxillary central incisors were used for the study. Root canal treatments were performed, and the post cavities were created.
Deep learning-based detection of incisal translucency patterns.
J Prosthet Dent
January 2025
Principal, Dr. Ambedkar Institute of Technology, Bangalore, India.
Statement Of Problem: The evaluation of incisal translucency in anterior teeth greatly influences esthetic treatment outcomes. This evaluation is mostly subjective and often overlooked among dental professionals. The application of artificial intelligence-based models to detect the incisal translucency of anterior teeth may be of value to dentists in their restorative dental practice, but studies are lacking.
