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.

OBJECTIVE The goal of the present retrospective study is to describe the distribution of the supernumerary teeth in a population of patients that have been attended at the Public Clinic of the Department of Oral Surgery. BACKGROUND Supernumerary teeth and multiple hyperdontia are usually associated with different syndromes, such as Gardner syndrome, or with facial fissures; however, they can ...

An unerupted supernumerary tooth was attached to the root surface of an unerupted permanent lateral incisor. It was necessary to remove both the supernumerary and the permanent lateral incisor as a single unit. The permanent lateral incisor was separated from the supernumerary and placed back into the original developmental crypt. The replanted lateral incisor erupted normally one year later. W...

hyperdontia or supernumerary teeth in both arches without any syndromic manifestation are extremely rare. supernumerary teeth are commonly associated with gardner’s syndrome, cleft lip and palate, cleidocranial dysplasia and trichorhinophalangeal syndrome. five cases of non-syndromic multiple premolars of maxillary and mandibular arches in indian patients are presented here. this case series re...

OBJECTIVE The objectives of the present study were to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of supernumerary teeth and evaluate the associated pathologies and treatment protocol in a Turkish patient population. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study was performed using full-mouth periapical and panoramic radiographs of 3491 patients (2146 females and 1345 males) ranging in age from 12 to...

Supernumerary teeth are teeth that are present in addition to normal teeth. Although several hypotheses and some molecular signalling pathways explain the formation of supernumerary teeth, but their exact disease pathogenesis is unknown. To study the molecular mechanisms of supernumerary tooth-related syndrome (Gardner syndrome), a deeper understanding of the aetiology of supernumerary teeth an...

The aim of this article was to review the literature on supernumerary teeth, analyzing their prevalence, etiology, diagnosis, treatment and possible complications. An electronic search was made in the Pubmed-Medline database up to January 2014 using the key search terms "multiple supernumerary teeth" (n=279), "prevalence supernumerary teeth" (n=361), and "supernumerary teeth" (n=2412). In addit...

Objective. This case report presents 3-year follow-up of a case of nonsyndromic multiple supernumerary teeth (NSMST) with 11 supernumerary teeth, 2 of which showed subsequent formation. Case Report. A 10-year-old girl was referred to the dental clinic with the chief complaint of delayed eruption. Radiographic examination showed 9 retained supernumerary teeth. The treatment plan consisted of ext...

Background and Aim : The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of non–syndromic supernumerary teeth, to classify them, to identify the related complications, and to determine the type of the treatment for them. Subjects and Methods : This retrospective study used 7753 panoramic radiographs of patients who presented themselves at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department from Ja...

The objective of the study was to determine the current prevalence of supernumerary teeth (PST) in the population of a Swiss community. 3,004 orthopantomograms (OPTs) routinely produced during the annual school dental examinations in the Winterthur municipality from 1990 to 2005 served as the study basis (average age 9.45 years, 1391 girls, 1613 boys, age range 6-15 years). The study found 44 s...
