A partially fused supernumerary kidney with bifid ureters was diagnosed in a 35-year-old female patient using ultrasound and triple-phased computed tomography (CT). The CT also revealed two separate renal arteries supplying each of the left kidney and multiple left renal veins, forming a common trunk to drain into the inferior vena cava. Supernumerary kidney is a rare congenital anomaly; fewer ...

Aggressive periodontitis is a rare condition that progresses rapidly but affects only a small percentage of population. Most of the cases are familial. The presence of supernumerary teeth is also rather rare and often familial. Therefore, a concomitant presentation of aggressive periodontitis and supernumerary teeth in an individual has generated a great interest among clinicians. Here, we repo...

Supernumerary teeth are the teeth present in addition to the normal set of teeth. They may be single, multiple, unilateral or bilateral, erupted or unerupted and in one or both jaws. Multiple supernumerary teeth are rare in individuals with no other associated diseases or syndromes. Our case presents with four supernumerary premolars, asymptomatic, of which one was erupted and three were unerup...

Ellis–van creveld syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive syndrome of the heart, skeleton and most of the ectodermal derivatives. It is caused due to genetic defects in the chromosome 4p16; it belongs to short rib-polydactyly group (SRP). It is characterized by short ribs, short limb, polydactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and congenital heart defects. The oral manifestation is one of the main charac...

isolated impacted supernumerary teeth are quite rare, but they can be seen associated with several syndromes such as cleidocranial dysostosis or gardner's syndrome. this article aims to discuss a case of sequential formation of supernumerary teeth with no other associated disease or syndrome. a 17-year-old iranian male with 8 impacted supernumerary teeth was referred to the department of pediat...

Werner mesomelia is characterized by a sequence variation in the specific region (position 404) of the enhancer ZRS of SHH. The phenotype comprises variable mesomelia, abnormalities of the thumb and great toe and supernumerary digits. We describe extensive variation in limb phenotype in a large family and report on a novel sequence variation NG_009240.1: g.106737G>T (traditional nomenclature: Z...

OBJECTIVES To determine the epidemiology and describe the clinical and radiographic characteristics, the type of treatment, and the possible delayed appearance of new supernumerary teeth in patients with non-syndromic multiple hyperdontia. PATIENTS AND METHODS We conducted a small retrospective observational study of 8 patients diagnosed with non-syndromic multiple hyperodontia. Multiple hype...

In mice, a toothless diastema separates the single incisor from the three molars in each dental quadrant. In the prospective diastema of the embryo, small rudimentary buds are found that are presumed to be rudiments of suppressed teeth. A supernumerary tooth occurs in the diastema of adult mice carrying mutations in either Spry2 or Spry4. In the case of Spry2 mutants, the origin of the supernum...
