The tooth fusion occurs in about 0.1% to 1% of permanent teeth. I aimed to report the fusion of a supernumerary tooth with the upper central incisor. A 37-year-old male was referred to me for management of a fused supernumerary tooth with the upper right central incisor. The tooth exhibited a positive vitality test. A periapical radiograph revealed the tooth with two fused roots with separated root canals. CBCT showed the bifid crown with two pulp chambers, and there was a connection between them. After surgical separation of the crown, we performed a three-sided flap to complete the separation of the roots. Then vital pulp therapy and direct composite restoration were done for the upper right central incisor. The limitation of this case report is the lack of clinical follow-up.
