Geminated teeth: a case report and review of literature

Gemination is a rare developmental disorder in tooth’s hard tissues, as a consequence of a dental germ division, characterized by invagination that will provoke an incomplete formation of two teeth, which results in two crowns partially or totally separated with one root and one unique root canal.

Los términos de diente doble, formaciones dobles y unión de dientes, se utilizan para describirla. En la geminación, el número total de dientes es normal. Su prevalencia es poco frecuente y más común en la región maxilar anterior. La etiología es desconocida aunque se relaciona con interacciones complejas de variedad de factores genéticos y ambientales. En este artículo se presenta la revisión de literatura sobre geminación y el caso de una paciente femenina de 8 años de edad, con un canino temporal maxilar geminado, asintomático y que no necesitó tratamiento.Universidad de Costa Rica2014-03-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionArticleartículo originalhttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_2df8fbb1info:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/Odontos/article/view/13738Odovtos - International Journal of Dental Sciences; Οδοντος (Odontos): Número 15; 75-80Odovtos International Journal of Dental Sciences; Οδοντος (Odontos): Número 15; 75-802215-34111659-104610.15517/ijds.v0i15reponame:Portal de Revistas UCRinstname:Universidad de Costa Ricainstacron:UCRspahttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/Odontos/article/view/13738/13068Derechos de autor 2014 Odovtosacceso abiertohttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2016-09-01T18:57:32Zoai:portal.ucr.ac.cr:article/13738Portal de revistashttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/Universidadhttp://www.ucr.ac.crhttps://revistas.ucr.ac.cr/index.php/index/oaijorge.polanco@ucr.ac.crCosta RicaNo aplicaNo aplicaNo aplicaopendoar:2025-08-13T10:43:40.147Portal de Revistas UCR - Universidad de Costa Ricafalse
