Bilateral fusion in primary mandibular teeth: A report of two cases

Abstract

The rare anomaly of fusion in primary dentition has very little documentation in Indian population. Two rare cases of bilateral fusion between primary mandibular lateral incisors and canines and primary mandibular central incisors and lateral incisors have been presented in this report. A minimal intervention approach, preventive procedures, and a long-term follow-up have been discussed.
