Ellis-van Creveld (EVC) syndrome is a form of skeletal and chondroectodermal dysplasia, occurring with and without systemic involvement. Taurodontism of permanent and primary molars and upper posterior supernumerary teeth are rarely associated with this syndrome. A 5-year-old girl presented with early childhood caries and hypodontia. She had labiogingival adhesion, labiogingival frenulum hypert...

The dentition of a Mesolithic population (8,000-11,000 years old) from Wadi Halfa, Sudan, can be characterized as morphologically complex, massive and relatively free from pathology except that associated with extreme wear. Maxillary incisors show shoveling. All of the maxillary molars show some development of the hypocone. Supernumerary cusps appear frequently. Almost one-half of the second lo...

dentigerous cysts are the second most common odontogenic cysts after radicular cysts and are most commonly seen in association with third molars and maxillary canines. only 5% of dentigerous cysts involve supernumerary teeth, of which mesiodens is the most frequent type. this paper presents a case of dentigerous cyst associated with a mesiodens that caused a painless swelling in the upper lip o...

WNT10A is a signaling molecule involved in tooth development, and WNT10A defects are associated with tooth agenesis. We characterized Wnt10a null mice generated by the knockout mouse project (KOMP) and six families with WNT10A mutations, including a novel p.Arg104Cys defect, in the absence of EDA,EDAR, or EDARADD variations. Wnt10a null mice exhibited supernumerary mandibular fourth molars, and...

to our knowledge, bilateral supernumerary kidney is a very rare renal abnormality and there are five cases presented in the literature. it is difficult to diagnose supernumerary kidney and clinicians have not detected most cases preoperatively. laboratory and imaging studies were acquired and carefully examined. the normal laboratory tests were found. emergency ultrasonography was performed and...

The use of Corrective Orthodontics to modifying dental aesthetics, has been increasingly effective in and improving the profile patients. Objective: Review literature on treatment Cl I malocclusions with severe crowding report a clinical case performed clinic private educational institution. Methodology: After extraction fixed orthodontic appliance treatment, facial aesthetics patient evolution...

Teeth more than normal in number are termed as supernumerary. The presence of multiple supernumerary teeth is ‘mesiodentes’. Supernumerary tooth usually results oral problems such malocclusion, food impaction, poor aesthetics, and cyst formation. This paper presents a case report on the successful management mesiodens mesiodentes.
