A very rare case of concrescence I got at my clinic.
CONCRESCENCE OF MANDIBULAR 3RD MOLAR WITH A SUPERNUMERARY FOURTH MOLAR.
Concrescence reveals a rare developmental anomaly in which two fully formed teeth are joined along the root surfaces by cementum, and generally occurs in maxillary molars, especially in a third molar and a supernumerary tooth. Very few cases have been reported about the concrescence of a third molar and a supernumerary fourth molar.
Two studies reported the prevalence of concrescence in India of 0.019% in females and 0.09% in males.
So far, only 12 cases have been reported in the English language worldwide (2000-2017)
