UNLABELLED Extra teeth in dentition is termed as 'supernumerary teeth' and is a very well-known dental developmental anomaly. Supernumerary premolars are a rare anomaly in the maxillofacial complex. Its rarity and complex characteristics often makes it difficult to treat. Radiographs play an important role in assessment of both the location and the typing of supernumerary teeth. This article re...

AIM Supernumerary teeth represent a numerical dental anomaly in which more teeth than the norm are present in the dentition. A sixteen year sample of supernumerary teeth has been reviewed in order to analyse epidemiological data, morphological and topographic features of these teeth, especially of those located in the praemaxillary region. MATERIALS AND METHODS All cases in which supernumerar...

The Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome is a chondroectodermal dysplasia and is characterized by the cardinal features of disproportionate short stature, polydactyly, hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and congenital heart malformations, along with other skeletal and dental abnormalities. It is a rare condition, with very few cases reported in the medical literature. It is inherited as an autosomal re...

Aim: To present a report the case of a 10-year-old boy with a dentigerous cyst associated with inverted and fused supernumerary teeth in the anterior maxilla and to point out the relationship between supernumerary teeth and dentigerous cysts. Method: The supernumerary teeth were removed and the cyst was enucleated. Result: The patient has remained asymptomatic and experienced no recurrence duri...

Supernumerary teeth are considered as one of the most significant dental anomalies during the primary and early mixed dentition stages. They are of great concern to the dentists and parents because of the eruption, occlusal, and esthetic problems they can cause. Supernumerary teeth occur more frequently in the permanent dentition but rarely in primary dentition and more often seen in males. A s...

Supernumerary teeth or hyperdontia are defined as the teeth that exceeds the normal dental formula, regardless of their location and morphology. A supernumerary tooth is a developmental anomaly and it has been argued to arise from multiple aetiologies. Supernumerary teeth with orthodox shapes and sizes, that resemble the normal dentition are called 'supplemental teeth'. The supplemental teeth a...
