A Review of Supernumerary Teeth in the Premolar Region

Abstract: Supernumerary teeth in the premolar region, unlike other supernumeraries, occur more often in the mandible where they are generally of the supplemental type. Occasionally, they are conical or smaller than normal, particularly in the upper premolar regions. They might occur singly or in multiples, be erupted or impacted, but the majority have been found to be unerupted and asymptomatic. The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in the premolar region has been demonstrated to be between 0.01 and 1 percent depending … Show more

“…Orthodontists may diagnose late-developing supernumerary teeth more often as panoramic radiographs are taken periodically during orthodontic treatment [7]. However, the supernumerary crypt and early stage of mineralization can be easily overlooked due to the lingual position relative to the normal premolar roots.…”

“…However, the supernumerary crypt and early stage of mineralization can be easily overlooked due to the lingual position relative to the normal premolar roots. Moreover, supernumerary premolars may interfere with orthodontic space closure and affect the stability of ortho dontic treatment [7,10,15].…”

“…Recently, the term "third dentition" has been proposed to describe supernumerary teeth that develop and appear after the completion of the usual configuration of 32 permanent teeth, representing a dental anomaly of number in the human species (1)(2)(3). Although this clinical phenomenon is relatively frequent in the global population (with an estimated prevalence between 1.5 and 3.8% in permanent dentition), the exact etiology of this anomaly remains unknown (2,4,5).…”
