A case of eight supernumerary impacted teeth

Abstract

Supernumerary teeth (ST) are common clinical dental anomalies characterized by the presence of excessive teeth. It can cause diverse complications in the developing jaw and dentition, which could prevent the acquisition of normal oral functions. The presence of multiple ST is rare and commonly associated with genetic syndromes or developmental anomalies. In such cases, the related clinical problems should be considered along with the treatment of multiple ST. Then, it is important to pay attention to the craniofacial, skeletal, and other physical findings. Herein, we report a rare case of eight ST in a patient without any associated syndromes. Early diagnosis and successive radiographic evaluations are critical for preventing the complications caused by ST.

Multirooted supernumerary tooth in the anterior maxilla: A rare presentation

“…Multirooted supernumerary teeth in anterior maxilla is a rare finding and can not only compromise function, and esthetics but can also predispose to an array of malocclusions, dental caries, cysts, and tumors leading to potential complications. 1 It is vital to report such relatively rare cases as they could aid in an early diagnosis and formulation of a prompt multidisciplinary treatment strategy, which could prevent the patient from developing complications and improve the overall quality of the dentition. 2 …”
