Abstract
Fused teeth are rare occurrence. Careful management of fused teeth is essential because abnormal morphology can predispose a tooth to periodontal disease and pulp necrosis. This case report presented the endodontic and periodontic management of supernumerary tooth fused with the right maxillary first molar. The pulp chambers of the maxillary first molar and supernumerary tooth were accessed. Clinical examination showed joined pulp chambers and root canals. A conventional endodontic treatment was performed. Anatomical groove of fused roots between the maxillary first molar and supernumerary tooth was sealed with glass ionomer cement. A 1 year follow-up showed satisfactory healing of periapical pathosis and healthy gingival tissue.
