Tooth anomalies are rare phenomena that may be reported by patients as chief complaints or may be discovered by dentists in the oral examination. In a few cases, rare anomalies are found together in one mouth. Decision to treat such anomalies depends on whether or not they interfere with function and esthetics and also the patient's preference. In the present case, a 19-year-old male presented with two right maxillary fused central and lateral incisors and a geminated left maxillary central incisor. A talon-like projection was found at the junction site of the fused teeth. His chief complaint was sensitivity to cold at the site of the giant fused tooth. This report describes the process of diagnosis and treatment of the two anomalies according to patient preference and needs.
牙齿异常是一种罕见的现象,患者可能会将其作为主要诉求报告出来,也可能在口腔检查中被牙医发现。在少数情况下,罕见的异常会在同一口腔中同时出现。对于此类异常的治疗决策取决于它们是否会影响功能和美观以及患者的偏好。在本病例中,一名19岁男性患者右侧上颌中切牙和侧切牙融合,左侧上颌中切牙双生。在融合牙的交界处发现了一个爪状突起。他的主要诉求是巨大融合牙部位对冷敏感。本报告根据患者的偏好和需求描述了这两种异常的诊断和治疗过程。
