Fusion is a developmental anomaly characterized by the union of two adjacent teeth. In this paper we report a rare case of fusion involving permanent mandibular second molar with supernumerary tooth. The rarity with which this entity appears, along with its complex characteristics, often makes it difficult to treat. The use of high-end diagnostic imaging modalities such as spiral computed tomography can help the clinician in making a confirmatory diagnosis and determining the treatment plan before undertaking the actual treatment. In the present case, we have used spiral computed tomography (SCT) for better understanding the complicated root canal morphology of the fused tooth and successful management of this rare case.
融合是一种发育异常，其特征为两颗相邻牙齿结合在一起。在本文中，我们报告了一例罕见的融合病例，涉及恒下颌第二磨牙与多生牙。该病症出现的罕见性及其复杂的特征，常常使其治疗变得困难。使用螺旋计算机断层扫描等高精诊断成像方式，有助于临床医生在实际治疗前做出确诊并确定治疗方案。在本病例中，我们使用螺旋计算机断层扫描（SCT）来更好地了解融合牙复杂的根管形态，并成功处理了这一罕见病例。
