title: Endodontic management of a fused maxillary lateral incisor with a supernumerary tooth: a case report.
abstract: Fusion is a rare occurrence and its definitive diagnosis is of prime importance for successful root canal treatment. This case report discusses the endodontic and esthetic management of fused maxillary lateral incisor with a supernumerary tooth that presented with spacing between the fused tooth and the adjacent central incisor. Nonsurgical endodontic treatment was performed on the fused teeth followed by postendodontic esthetic restoration. The patient remained symptom-free and there was a reduction in the size of periapical radiolucency after 1 year.
