Abstract
The dental literature concerning the bilateral presentation of fusion and gemination
is reviewed and analyzed. Tables are presented to show the prevalence and distribution
of these anomalies in both the primary and permanent dentitions. In addition, the
first prevalence statistics for the bilateral occurrence of fusion and gemination
in the primary and permanent dentitions are determined. The first case of bilateral
fusion of mandibular primary incisors to be reported in 13 years is presented. The
presence of all four succedaneous incisors and the diagnosis of bilateral fusion are
confirmed radiographically. The developmental concerns and possible sequelae of bilateral
fusion and gemination are also discussed.
