Three case reports of fusion are presented. Clinical problems relating to fusion may be unacceptable appearance or alignment of teeth, and periodontal conditions. It is suggested that all succedaneous teeth that are joined or fused together by dentin be referred to as fused teeth because of the frequent difficulty in differentiating fusion and gemination in the adult dentition.
A case of benign cementoblastoma in a 20-year-old man has been reviewed. The lesion was typical and was associated with the mandibular right first molar. The patient initially reported symptoms related to that tooth. Radiographically, the lesion was 1.5 cm in diameter and had a peripheral radiolucent border. Histopathologic examination showed a well-circumscribed mass of cementum. Excision of the tumor with removal of the associated tooth resulted in normal osseous healing and no evidence of recurrence after one year.
The clinical characteristics and appearance of the intraoral blue nevus are reviewed herein. The histogenesis, histologic appearance, differential diagnosis, and treatment of this uncommon oral lesion are also discussed.
