“…There are different opinions about the treatment options of ST.[ 5 ] Some authors suggested that if ST do not cause any discernable adverse effect on adjacent teeth and if no future orthodontic treatment foreseen, it is reasonable to recommend that immediate surgical intervention is not essential. [ 70 71 ] Other suggested that ST have a tendency to resorb and disappear if left untreated. [ 72 73 ] Treatment decision may affected from several factors, such as the ST are erupted or nonerupted, stage of the crown and root development, the distance between the ST and root of the adjacent teeth and the condition of the dentition (malocclusion, crowding, missing teeth).…”

Supernumerary teeth (ST) are odontostomatologic anomaly characterized by as the existence excessive number of teeth in relation to the normal dental formula. This condition is commonly seen with several congenital genetic disorders such as Gardner's syndrome, cleidocranial dysostosis and cleft lip and palate. Less common syndromes that are associated with ST are; Fabry Disease, Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, Nance-Horan syndrome, Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome and Trico–Rhino–Phalangeal syndrome. ST can be an important component of a distinctive disorder and an important clue for early diagnosis. Certainly early detecting the abnormalities gives us to make correct management of the patient and also it is important for making well-informed decisions about long-term medical care and treatment. In this review, the genetic syndromes that are related with ST were discussed.

“…The second goal is to detail the morphology of the supernumerary teeth. Information derived from CBCT images of unerupted supernumerary teeth could facilitate decisions on which of the teeth to retain, determination of the retrievability of those teeth and mapping the optimal surgical access to the teeth, 51 as illustrated in the example in Figure 6.…”

Since its introduction into dentistry in 1998, CBCT has become increasingly utilized for orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning and research. The utilization of CBCT for these purposes has been facilitated by the relative advantages of three-dimensional (3D) over two-dimensional radiography. Despite many suggested indications of CBCT, scientific evidence that its utilization improves diagnosis and treatment plans or outcomes has only recently begun to emerge for some of these applications. This article provides a comprehensive and current review of key studies on the applications of CBCT in orthodontic therapy and for research to decipher treatment outcomes and 3D craniofacial anatomy. The current diagnostic and treatment planning indications for CBCT include impacted teeth, cleft lip and palate and skeletal discrepancies requiring surgical intervention. The use of CBCT in these and other situations such as root resorption, supernumerary teeth, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathology, asymmetries and alveolar boundary conditions should be justified on the basis of the merits relative to risks of imaging. CBCT has also been used to assess 3D craniofacial anatomy in health and disease and of treatment outcomes including that of root morphology and angulation; alveolar boundary conditions; maxillary transverse dimensions and maxillary expansion; airway morphology, vertical malocclusion and obstructive sleep apnoea; TMJ morphology and pathology contributing to malocclusion; and temporary anchorage devices. Finally, this article utilizes findings of these studies and current voids in knowledge to provide ideas for future research that could be beneficial for further optimizing the use of CBCT in research and the clinical practice of orthodontics.

“…Morphologically, they are conical (approximately two thirds of the cases), which makes eruption in the oral cavity easier, and contributes to surgical removal 12 . However, they can appear with tuberculate or molariform aspect 13 . The mesiodens can be vertically positioned, either in normal or inverted form, at risk of erupting in the nasal cavity, or in horizontal position 14 .…”

Diagnosis and treatment of supernumerary teeth in the pediatric clinic - case report

The present study aimed to discuss the etiology, diagnosis, prevalence and treatment of mesiodens based on current scientific evidence. Two clinical cases of patients of the pediatric dentistry clinic, both with complaints of dissatisfaction with their smile for showing "strange teeth", were presented. After the clinical, radiographic and tomographic diagnosis, the presence of supernumerary teeth (mesiodens) was diagnosed. The treatment consisted in the surgical removal of the supernumerary teeth and subsequent referral to orthodontics to proceed towards recovering adequate aesthetics and function. The removal of mesiodens in children has the purpose of avoiding possible aesthetic and functional disorders resulting from the presence of the pathology allied to the favorable prognosis in early age.
