Fusion is an anomaly manifested in both deciduous and permanent dentitions. Triple tooth refers to the union of three separate tooth entities. It can involve the normal dentition or supernumerary teeth. Triplication is rarely encountered in deciduous and permanent dentition with an incidence of 0.02%. The case presented herein describes a rare case of triplication in permanent maxillary incisor...

Mesiodens is a midline supernumerary tooth commonly seen in the maxillary arch, and incidence of molariform mesiodens in the maxillary midline is rare in permanent dentition and extremely uncommon in primary dentition. A midline supernumerary tooth in the primary dentition can cause ectopic or delayed eruption of permanent central incisors which will further alter occlusion and may compromise e...

Tooth fusion consists of the union of crowns by the enamel and/or dentin. We describe a case of a patient who presented with a fistula in the apical portion of teeth 32 and 33. Clinically, tooth 32 showed increased crown width in relation to other teeth in the same arch. Radiographic examination evidenced fusion of tooth 32 with a possible supernumerary tooth. Cone-beam computed tomography was ...

An 11-year-old female in the late mixed dentition presented to the Department of Orthodontics, University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, for treatment of upper and lower crowding. A supernumerary tooth was observed in the upper left first premolar region, but none of the twodimensional radiographs was able to accurately depict the size or anatomy of the tooth (Fig. 1). Because the p...

UNLABELLED Dentigerous cysts, also known as follicular cysts, are a relatively common pathology in our field. They are associated with unerupted or semi-erupted teeth and are usually not related to supernumerary teeth. OBJECTIVE To describe a dentigerous cyst case associated to a supernumerary tooth. CASE-REPORT A large-sized dentigerous cyst is described, associated with a supernumerary to...

This report describes a case of combined dental development abnormalities. A patient with a previous ectopically erupted supernumerary maxillary canine presented a new ectopically erupted supernumerary premaxillary tooth with dens invaginatus (Oehlers' type 2) and an aberrant coronal morphology, including a pit in the distal portion of the palatal surface. This tooth would have been diagnosed e...

OBJECTIVE The objectives of the present study were to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of supernumerary teeth in a patient sample of Nepalese children. STUDY DESIGN A survey was performed on 2684 patients (1829 females and 1035 males) ranging in age from 6 to 14 for the presence of supernumerary teeth. For each patient with supernumerary teeth the demographic variables (age and ...

Submit Manuscript | http://medcraveonline.com commonly seen in permanent dentition. The incidence of supernumerary teeth is 1-3% and approximately 90-98% of supernumerary teeth occur in the maxilla. Males are affected twice as frequently as females [1]. Mesiodens is the most frequently occurring supernumerary tooth located palatal to the central incisors and conical morphology was found to be m...

The objective of this report is to describe combined orthodontic and endodontic treatment of a fused mandibular premolar with supernumerary tooth. The patient was a 15 year old girl seeking orthodontic treatment for the correction of maxillary and mandibular crowding. Cephalometric examination revealed skeletally Class I relationship. The panoramic radiograph showed a fused tooth with two separ...

Although hypodontia and supernumerary teeth are often considered as mutually exclusive conditions, this case report presents an unusual case of hypodontia and a supernumerary tooth occurring simultaneously. An adolescent male was referred to the local hospital department regarding upper arch crowding. Plain film radiographs confirmed the congenital absence of both lower lateral incisors in addi...
