Maxillary central incisor impactions occur infrequently. Their origins include various local causes, such as odontoma, supernumerary teeth, and space loss. Supernumerary and ectopically impacted teeth are asymptomatic and found during routine clinical or radiological examinations. The surgical exposure and orthodontic traction of bilaterally impacted central incisors after removal of impacted s...

Supernumerary nostril is a very rare congenital anomaly. It can be unilateral or bilateral, and it sometimes occurs in the presence of other congenital deformities. Behind the external opening of a supernumerary nostril is a small accessory nasal cavity, which may or may not communicate with the normal nasal cavity on the same side. We describe a new case in which the supernumerary nostril with...

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...

Analysis of breeding records suggests that the occurrence of fused and supernumerary molars in the rice rat, associated with lower body weight than normal and with reduced fertility, is dependent on a single autosomal recessive gene subject to background modification. Molar fusion, which is preceded by stripping of the external enamel epithelium from the interdental lamina, may involve the firs...

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...

A case is presented of a nine-year-old male having a supernumerary maxillary right first primary molar together with a supernumerary maxillary right first premolar. The implications of early diagnosis and orthodontic management are discussed. The occurrence of supernumerary teeth in both the primary and permanent dentitions in the same patient seems to be rare. A review of the literature (inclu...

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...
