Gemination refers to an attempt by a single tooth bud to divide, with a resultant formation of either a large tooth with a bifid crown or two completely divided teeth throughout the crown and root. This report describes a rare case of bilateral gemination of permanent mandibular second premolar tooth giving rise to molarization of premolars. The mesiodistal width of these teeth is similar to mandibular molars, but the cervicoocclusal width is lesser than that of the molar tooth. This paper also discusses the potential orthodontic, periodontal, and endodontic complications of premolar molarization.
双生牙是指单个牙胚试图分裂,最终形成一个冠部有双裂的大牙或整个冠部和根部完全分开的两颗牙。本报告描述了一例罕见的双侧下颌第二前磨牙双生牙病例,导致前磨牙磨牙化。这些牙齿的近远中宽度与下颌磨牙相似,但颈缘至牙合面的宽度小于磨牙。本文还讨论了前磨牙磨牙化潜在的正畸、牙周和牙髓并发症。
