Triple tooth in primary dentition: A proposed classification
A 5-year-old boy presented to the Department of Pedodontics and Preventive Dentistry, with an abnormal upper front tooth. Past history and the family history were not relevant and there was no history of trauma. Examination revealed irregular morphology of teeth in the upper anterior region and there was fusion of left maxillary central incisor, lateral incisor and a supernumerary tooth and the fused teeth were free of caries []. The remaining primary teeth in both arches were normal. Occlusal radiograph revealed fusion of the central and lateral incisors to the supernumerary tooth with no clear distinction of root canal in the supernumerary tooth and agenesis of succedaneous upper left lateral incisor []. Parents were counseled regarding the anomaly and were made conscious about the concomitant problems expected with these anomalies. At 1-year follow-up, the succedaneous tooth germ of central incisor was found to be developing normally and he was advised regular follow-up.
