If the double tooth is counted as two teeth and the number of teeth in the mouth is increased, then the double tooth is likely due to tooth gemination. [1] If the double tooth is counted as two teeth, and the number of teeth in the dental arch is normal ...
A systematic review concluded that for decayed baby (primary) teeth, putting an off‐the‐shelf metal crown over the tooth (Hall technique) or only partially removing decay (also referred to as "selective removal" [5]) before placing a filling may be better than the conventional treatment of removing all decay before filling. [6]
[3] [4] This problem has not been realised with one study showing long-term data beyond five years, to when the baby teeth are lost, with fewer problems from the tooth with the crown. Crowns placed using the Hall Technique have better long term outcomes (pain/infection and need for replacement) compared with standard fillings. [5] [6] [7]
[4] [2] If a double tooth is present, then there may be a higher chance of other dental anomalies (see Related Abnormalities section). [1] [5] Double teeth are usually larger than normal teeth, may have an incisal notch present on the crown of the tooth, and may have a groove/fold in the enamel on the labial surface that can extend further down ...
