AIM The aim of this article is to report a case of bilateral multiple impacted supernumerary teeth. A discussion of possible mechanisms of development is also presented along with a concise review of the literature. BACKGROUND Supernumerary teeth occur in the context of various scenarios in the primary and the permanent dentition. Multiple supernumerary teeth are a rare finding especially in ...

OBJECTIVES Dental impaction is a very frequent problem. Supernumerary teeth, or hyperdontia, are the presence of additional teeth to the normal series in the either of the dentition. The presence of impacted and/or supernumerary teeth can cause various complications. The objective of the present study was to determine the prevalence of impacted and supernumerary teeth in the North Indian popula...

Supernumerary teeth are common in general population and occur frequently in patients with familial trait. However, it is rare to find supernumeraries in individuals with no associated disease or syndrome. Supernumerary teeth are found in any region of maxilla and mandible, with a predisposition for anterior maxilla. A case of endodontically involved supernumerary lateral incisor is described.

Fusion is a developmental anomaly, which is rarely observed in clinic. It can happen between normal and supernumerary teeth. Supernumerary teeth are those that exceed the normal dental formula. In this paper we report a rare case of fusion, involving permanent maxillary second molar and a supernumerary tooth, where endodontic treatment was provided and final restoration was accomplished.

Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the impacted supernumerary teeth which were initially detected on panoramic radiographs by using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Materials and Methods In this retrospective study, supernumerary teeth diagnosed on panoramic radiographs taken from patients who had admitted for routine dental treatment were evaluated using CBCT. Patients...

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2014205000 DESCRIPTION A 15-year-old boy reported with extra teeth in his upper left and right back region since 4–5 years. Medical and family history did not reveal any related positive findings. On detailed intraoral examination, supernumerary teeth were found dis...

Introduction Supernumerary teeth may be defined as extra teeth occurring within the dental arch. These teeth may be found within the deciduous dentition, but are more commonly found within the permanent dentition. The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in the permanent dentition has been investigated in several studies (Table 1); it varies from 0.45% to 4.5%. In Ireland the levels vary between 2...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to examine the radiographic features associated with impacted premaxillary supernumerary teeth, to determine the relationship between their characteristics and their effects on permanent incisors, and to investigate the types of orthodontic treatment that patients received after the extraction of impacted supernumerary teeth. MATERIALS AND METHODS The clinica...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate frequency, anatomic presentation, and quantities of supernumerary parathyroids glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT1) associated with multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1), as well as the importance of thymectomy, and the benefits of localizing examinations for those glands. METHODS Forty-one patients with hyperparathyroidism associated with MEN1...

Most supernumerary teeth are impacted and asymptomatic. Objective. The aim of this paper is to describe two cases of sequential development of supernumerary teeth in the mandibular premolar region, identified during orthodontic treatment. Reports. The first case describes the radiographic follow-up of a female patient that presented a supernumerary tooth at the age of 9 years and 10 months in t...
