Abstract

The form of primary and permanent teeth can differ morphologically from that
which is considered normal, completely or in some parts. The changes in tooth form can
be hereditary or caused by some disease or trauma. Fusion is a union of one or more
teeth during development. Gemination means that two separate morphological units
were created by division of the tooth germ. The intention of this study was to state the
prevalence of double teeth (fusion and gemination) among the persons tested, as to gender,
distribution in the maxilla or mandible, and whether the anomaly occurred bilaterally
or unilaterally. The results of this investigation have shown that in a total of examined
3,517 plaster models, a prevalence of double teeth was 0.2%. 57.2% of them were
fusioned and 42.9% geminated.
