“…This pathogenetic hypothesis can also be supported by the sporadically reported simultaneous presence of ODs and SPNs in non-syndromic cases 13 , 26 , 53 , 56 , 151 - 153 and by many cases of non-syndrome multiple (more than five) SPNs. 154 - 156 Moreover, CxODs and supernumerary microdontic teeth have been alternatively found in Otodental Dysplasia, 122 an autosomal dominant inherited condition whose locus has been mapped to 20q13.1 within a 12-cM critical chromosomal region, 157 and a CxOD has been found as well in association with 1 SPN in a variant of Ekman-Westborg-Julin Syndrome. 105 …”

Odontomas and Supernumerary Teeth: Is There a Common Origin?

The aim of the present work is to analyze all scientific evidence to verify whether similarities supporting a unified explanation for odontomas and supernumerary teeth exist. A literature search was first conducted for epidemiologic studies indexed by PubMed, to verify their worldwide incidence. The analysis of the literature data shows some interesting similarities between odontomas and supernumerary teeth concerning their topographic distribution and pathologic manifestations. There is also some indication of common genetic and immuno-histochemical factors. Although from a nosological point of view, odontomas and supernumeraries are classified as distinct entities, they seem to be the expression of the same pathologic process, either malformative or hamartomatous.

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 addition to the articles initially identified, others were included in the review proceeding from a manual search and from any references considered of relevance. Supernumerary teeth are those that exceed the normal dental formula. They are more common in men, more common in the upper maxilla, and more prevalent in permanent dentition. Complications associated with supernumerary teeth include dental impaction, delayed eruption, ectopic eruption, overcrowding, spacing anomalies and the formation of follicular cysts. The treatment of supernumerary teeth depends on their type, position, and possible complications, detected clinically and radiographically. No clear consensus exists as to the best time to extract unerupted supernumerary teeth. Key words:Hyperdoncia, supernumerary teeth, impacted teeth, treatment, permanent teeth, deciduous teeth.

“…Several theories have been proposed to explain their occurrence. The most common are phylogenetic theory; an abnormal reaction to a traumatic local event; environmental factors; the dichotomy of the tooth germ; and the theory of hyperactivity of the dental lamina [12]. The last one seems to be the more accepted [13, 14].…”

“…Heredity is considered to be an important factor, especially in the development of multiple supernumerary teeth, which are considered to represent a partial third dentition in humans. Their inheritance however does not seem to follow a Mendelian pattern [2, 12]. …”

“…Based on morphology, supernumerary can be defined as supplemental (eumorphic) or rudimentary (conic shape, tuberculate, molariform, and odontome) [15, 16]. Seventy-five percent of the supernumerary teeth are asymptomatic [5] and are mostly diagnosed as an accidental radiological finding or because the presence of one of the anomalies seen before makes it necessary to get an OPT [12]. …”

Histological Evaluation and Management of Rare Case of Supernumerary “Ghost” Teeth

Supernumerary teeth are teeth that exceed the normal dental formula. Their prevalence in the permanent dentition is 1–14% and they occur more frequently in maxilla with a sex ratio of 2 : 1 in favor of males. They are often associated with syndromes but there are examples of nonsyndromic multiple supernumerary teeth reported in the literature. CBCT is usually the best exam for radiographic diagnosis and treatment planning, because it provides 3D information about location and morphology of supernumerary teeth. This paper reports a rare case of four supernumerary teeth in a nonsyndromic 9-year-old boy. The peculiarity of this case is that two more exceeding teeth were found during surgical procedure. After extraction, all the teeth underwent a histological undecalcified processing for light microscopical examination. The two “ghost” supernumerary teeth seemed to be primordial dental germs, possibly resulting from an altered odontogenic process. After supernumerary teeth extraction, X-rays and exfoliation monitoring are recommended, since permanent retained teeth often erupt naturally or, at least, improve their condition. Radiographic follow-up is also useful in order to assess the formation of further teeth due to the hyperactivity of the dental lamina.

Non‐syndromic multiple supernumerary teeth: meta‐analysis

Abstract: Although NSMST is a condition that has a higher incidence in the male gender, no differences have been found as to their number and localization in both genders. Bilaterality seems to be a common characteristic of this disorder.
