Abstract
We report a rare case of a rotated geminated tooth in the anterior region of the maxilla of a 9-year 3-month-old boy suffering from a morphological anomaly of the maxillary incisor. Intraoral findings revealed that the left lateral incisor had geminated and rotated. The tooth was large and rotation occurred due to a lack of space for eruption. Radiographic findings revealed that the tooth had 2 crown elements without a joint pulp cavity and a single root with a single pulp chamber. We performed minor tooth movement to improve malalignment of the anterior region of the maxilla due to dislocation of the geminated tooth. Subsequently, composite resin filling of the crown of the geminated tooth was performed for improvement in crown shape and occlusal guidance.
