odontogenesis

The clinical image clearly depicts fusion between two deciduous maxillary incisors, evidenced by the visible groove running vertically along the crown, indicating the junction where two separate dental entities have united during development. This developmental dental anomaly occurs during the morphodifferentiation stage of tooth development when two normally separated tooth buds develop too close to each other, leading to contact and subsequent fusion of dental hard tissues.

his histological section provides an exceptional visualization of a tooth in the active phase of eruption, highlighting the critical anatomical relationships between the tooth and its surrounding tissues.
