Report of a case with 19 supernumerary teeth in a non-syndromic patient

Abstract: Supernumerary teeth occur frequently in human dentition, but presence of multiple supernumerary teeth in patients without any associated syndrome or systemic disorder is a rare phenomenon. Presence of supernumerary teeth in itself is not a problem and may not require removal in all cases but in certain conditions, they may be associated with several clinical complications and require removal. Here, we present a 14 year old female who complained of non emergence of permanent teeth. Orthopantomogram initially sh… Show more

“…Supernumerary tooth in normal dentition is not an unusual phenomenon but the presence of multiple supernumerary teeth in individuals without any syndromic disorder is not common. Literature shows that single supernumerary tooth is the most common [ 3 , 8 ] and they frequently locate in the anterior maxilla, specifically the midline. In contrast, multiple supernumerary teeth have been found to occur more frequently in the premolar region [ 4 ,8].…”

“…If associated with roots of permanent teeth, waiting till the completion of root development should be considered to minimize the chances of root damage. If the supernumerary teeth are associated with any sort of complications like cysts or tumors, obstruction to normal teeth eruption, hindrance to orthodontic tooth movement and unaesthetic appearance, extraction is a logical management in those cases [ 8 , 17 ]. In our cases, we have decided to extract supernumerary to optimize orthodontic treatment (case 1) and following third molar complication (case 2) and we agreed with the patients to keep the other supernumerary tooth and put it under periodic monitoring.…”
