Abstract
Gemination aka twinning and fusion, are rare occurrences in posterior mandibular
teeth, often requiring endodontic and surgical treatment for functional,
orthodontic or cosmetic reasons. The diagnosis and design of a precise treatment
plan in cases involving double teeth are in most cases challenging. The purpose of
this case report is to describe a successful multidisciplinary treatment protocol for
a double tooth. Upon completion of the endodontic, restorative and orthodontic
treatments, the clinical and radiographic three-year follow-up revealed that the rest
of the transected premolar showed evidence of healing of the supporting tissues
and satisfactory cosmetic result.
