Fusion is a rare occurrence, and its definitive diagnosis is of prime importance for successful root canal treatment. This case report discusses the endodontic management of a supernumerary tooth fused with a right maxillary second molar. After 1 year of follow-up, there were no clinical symptoms and the maxillary second molar remained vital. Recall radiographs appeared normal.
