Abstract-Tooth fusion is one of the rare anomalies of the shape of the tooth. It is due to the union
of two separate tooth germs. Tooth fusion and gemination in mandibular primary teeth has very
little documentation in Indian population. These conditions requires a minimal intervention
approach, preventive procedures, and a long-term follow-up. Here we report a rare case of
fusion between left mandibular primary central and lateral incisors and gemination in right
primary mandibular lateral incisor in a four year old boy.
Keywords: tooth fusion, double teeth, bilateral fusion, mandibular primary teeth.
