Gemination and Fusion (Gemination vs Fusion)


Gemination

 


Gemination is when a tooth bud attempts to split in two during development. (ie:  Attempting to form another tooth.)  The tooth will appear larger than a normal tooth.

Fusion

Below is a small occlusal xray of the maxillary arch and in the larger occlusal xray of the mandibular arch you'll notice the fused #N-O.  Notice the two separate pulp chambers.

 
 
 
 

 

Fusion or Gemination?  You decide.

 



Fusion of Permanent Teeth #25-26 or is it Gemination?

 

 In the above picture and x-ray, my first thought is gemination because there are two pulp chambers but only one canal. but I was taught that the tooth count should be normal in a gemination case.  So if there are only three incisors I would have to conclude that this is a case of tooth fusion.  Any thoughts or opinions?

    Germination are basically known to cause due to double tooth in one root canal. Hence, it becomes necessary to look for any professional dentist for a word of advice. I recently had this, but thankfully my dentist help me out.

    Many charitable organizations also offer such services. The good part, though, is that community care dental clinics have some very good doctors who perform fillings, crown replacements, and root canals at very low rates.Dental Clinic
