Abstract

Our objective was to present an unusual clinical case of a dental concrescence that comes with a Dens evaginatus on a mandibular left sector molar. This is about a description of this dental morphologic anomaly. The content of this article includes the clinical, radiological and anatomy morphological features of this anomaly of dental development of a 19-year-old female patient. The particularity of our case was its rarity, its installation on a posterior mandibular tooth, its localization on the mesial dental side, and finally the association of both cases of dental development anomalies. The treatment decision is based on the tooth conservation priority. The lack of its antagonist to preserve dental occlusion and strengthen the masticatory system, a preventive treatment is made to block all decay progression, combined with a prosthetic and orthodontic treatment recommendation
