Concrescence is an uncommon developmental condition of teeth where the cementum overlying the roots of at least two teeth fuse together without the involvement of dentin.[1][2] Usually, two teeth are involved with the upper second and third molars being most commonly fused together.[3] The prevalence ranges 0.04–0.8% in permanent teeth, with the incidence being highest in the posterior maxilla.[4][2][1]
