Concrescence represents a rare developmental anomaly in which two fully formed teeth are joined along the root surfaces by cementum. Maxillary molars are the teeth most frequently involved, especially a third molar and a supernumerary tooth. Very few cases have been reported about the concrescence of a third molar and a supernumerary tooth. According to our current knowledge, this case report is the first in the literature in which concrescence is observed between a third molar and a supernumerary fourth molar in the mandible.
融合是一种罕见的发育异常,即两颗完全形成的牙齿通过牙骨质沿牙根表面相连。上颌磨牙是最常受累的牙齿,尤其是第三磨牙和多生牙。关于第三磨牙和多生牙融合的病例报道极少。据我们目前所知,本病例报告是文献中首例观察到下颌第三磨牙与额外的第四磨牙发生融合的情况。
