Fusion can occur at the level of enamel or enamel and dentin, which results in the formation of a single tooth with enlarged clinical crown. Fusion is more common in deciduous dentition. Incisors are reported to be fused in primary and permanent dentition, but bilateral fusion is a rare occurrence. The prevalence of bilateral fusion in the permanent dentition is less frequent than unilateral fusion and is reported to be around 0.05%. The authors report a case of a 20-year-old male with bilateral fusion of maxillary central and lateral incisors. Multi-disciplinary treatment approach is essential to get the desired esthetic result. The best way to manage these difficult cases depends on a number of factors including the knowledge and technical skills of the practitioner.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/0970-9290.90312","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,11,26]],"date-time":"2011-11-26T03:38:22Z","timestamp":1322278702000},"page":"603-605","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Bilateral fusion of permanent maxillary incisors"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"22","author":[{"given":"Manoj Kumar","family":"Hans","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Conservative Dentistry and Endodontics, K.D.
