odontogenic tumors are derived from epithelial, ectomesenchymal and/or mesenchymal elements that are or have been a part of the tooth-forming apparatus. of all the odontogenic tumors, calcifying epithelial odontogenic tumor accounts for 1% of the cases. approximately 200 cases have been reported to date. there is no sex predilection, with a 2:1 predilection for the mandible, mostly in the premo...

BACKGROUND AND AIM: Supernumerary tooth (ST) is considered as a developmental tooth abnormality in number that most often occurs in the anterior region of the maxilla. They may erupt or remain impacted in the alveolar bone. The impacted teeth can cause eruptional disturbances for the adjacent developing teeth. CASE REPORT: A case of bilateral supplemental maxillary lateral incisors in a nonsynd...

BACKGROUND The formation of dental tissues is a highly delicate and complex phenomenon. Any alteration in this process leads to various dental anomalies which affect the tooth number, size, shape and structure. Supernumerary teeth are one such anomaly which affects the tooth number. Supernumerary teeth can give rise to various complications and pathologies or they may have a familial / syndromi...

AIM The purpose of this case report is to present a case of a non-syndrome male patient with multiple supplemental supernumerary teeth in three quadrants of his mouth. BACKGROUND Supernumerary teeth are described as the teeth formed in excess of the number found in a normal dentition. Prevalence of supernumerary teeth varies between 0.1% and 3.8% in the general Caucasian population. Multiple ...

Human growth and development of dentition generally follows an orderly pattern of an eruption sequence of primary dentition of 20 teeth, followed by an interim time of mixed dentition and concluding with 32 permanent teeth. The literature is rich with descriptions of variation of this pattern largely based on addition or deletion of the genetic code which may include geographic isolation and or...

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...
