This study aimed to report a case of a three-year-old patient, female, who together with her responsible, whose main complaint was the aesthetics of the upper front teeth due to disproportionate size and altered staining. During the clinical and radiographic examinations, an anomaly called teeth merger, which is the union of two adjacent teeth, was diagnosed in the upper anterior region. The treatment included the sectioning of the two teeth and extraction of the supernumerary, followed by restorative treatment of the right central incisor that had caries lesions.
