Core Tip |
Fused teeth usually involve several complications due to their complex anatomical structure. A thorough diagnosis is of vital importance. With the aid of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) and digital model technology, accurate 3-dimensional images of teeth can be obtained; thus, CBCT provides a minimally invasive approach to acquiring detailed diagnostic information. In this report, we utilized CBCT data to generate a digital model of a fused tooth and only treated the infected isthmus by an endodontic approach. Good treatment outcomes were observed at the 24-month follow-up. This finding provides new perspectives on the diagnosis and treatment of fused teeth. |
