General and dental pathology with special reference to etiology and pathologic anatomy; a treatise for students and practitioners . sionally be found between the two roots upontheir lingual aspect. Geminated Teeth By geminated teeth is meant the fusion of two or more teethby means of enamel or cementum. During the developmentalperiod it is probable that distortion by pressure of the enamelorgans of the fused teeth takes place, and again, this distortionor misplacement may affect the developing roots only, in whichcase the crowns will lie separated from one another, but theroots will be fused or united by means of cementum. The fusionor gemination of teeth may affect either the deciduous or thepermanent teeth. Fig. 202 shows two deciduous incisors eruptedwith their roots fused to one another by means of cementum. Fig. .MACKosconc ltKFOKMlTIES OF THE TEETH 285 203 shows an upper central and Lateral incisor erupted fused toone another \v a distance of aboul one-third the length of theirroots from their apices to an imaginary line of junction betweenthe apical third and gingival two-thirds.
