Abstract
|
|
We report an extremely rare case of an impacted maxillary third molar inversely fused with a supernumerary tooth in a 51-year-old male. The panoramic and dental radiographs show a radiopaque and tooth-like mass of 20×15 mm located in the third maxillary region of the right maxilla. Computed tomography revealed that the tooth-like structure was a union of the impacted maxillary third molar with a inversed supernumerary tooth, creating a fused tooth with a common dental pulp. To our knowledge, only one case of inversely fusion of a maxillary third molar with a supernumerary tooth has been reported.
