Alsuwaida MM. Unusual presentation of lower right second molar: A case report. Int J Case Rep Images 2024;15(2):73–75.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Dental anomalies such as fusion and gemination are rare but clinically significant conditions that can complicate diagnosis and treatment. This report presents a unique case involving the lower right second molar in a young adult male, exploring the diagnostic challenges and therapeutic implications.
Case Report: A 20-year-old male patient presented for a routine dental check-up during which an unusual morphology of the lower right second molar was observed. Radiographic analysis suggested a dental anomaly, with differential diagnoses including fusion and gemination. The clinical presentation, radiographic findings, and subsequent management are discussed in detail.
Conclusion: Accurate diagnosis of dental anomalies is crucial for effective treatment planning and management. This case underscores the importance of detailed clinical and radiographic evaluation in identifying and differentiating between dental conditions like fusion and gemination.
