Non-syndromic multiple supernumerary teeth: report of a case with 13 supplemental teeth

Abstract

The presence of supernumerary teeth (STs) may give rise to a variety of clinical problems. These include failure of a tooth to erupt, delayed eruption, ectopic eruption, diastema, rotation of adjacent teeth, displacement of teeth and crowding. This case describes a 14-year-old male patient who presented with the complaint of pain in the left mandibular posterior region. Intraoral examination revealed the presence of carious retained deciduous second molar in this region. An orthopantomogram was advised which ‘initially’ revealed 11 STs, positioned in all four quadrants in posterior regions. Two more STs were detected in the following investigations totalling 13. Dental literature rarely reports presence of STs in such a large number. The objective of this case is to report detection of STs, radiographic examination, extraction of the retained deciduous molars and STs in the mandible to facilitate eruption of mandibular premolars.

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

“…in 2013 reported a case of thirteen supplemental teeth in non-syndromic patient and before this case was presented, that was probably the highest number of supernumerary teeth reported in a single non-syndromic patient. All of the supernumerary teeth in that patient occurred in the premolar region[ 13 ] In contrast, in the present case, among the nineteen supernumerary teeth, one was present in maxillary midline region (mesiodens), one each was associated with 11, 13, 21, 23, 32, 33, 34, 35. Three supernumeraries were associated with 14 and 15, three with 25, two with 44 and two with 45.…”

Múltiples Dientes Supernumerarios en Paciente Pediátrico No Sindrómico. Una Revisión de la Literatura y Presentación de Caso Clínico

“…Complicaciones. Los dientes supernumerarios son asintomáticos en la mayoría de las veces y pueden pasar desapercibidos sin presentar sintomatología ni complicaciones, sin embargo, estos dientes no están ajenos a sufrir complicaciones como alteración en la erupción y posición de los dientes primarios o permanentes, inclusión dentaria con o sin impactación, diastemas, malposiciones dentarias, rizalisis, periodontitis, dilaceraciones, formación de quistes dentígeros, alteración oclusiva y falta de apariencia estética (Garvey et al, 1999;Ansari et al, 2013;Ata-Ali et al, 2014) Evaluación CBCT. Se solicitan imágenes CBCT.…”

“…Sin embargo, Ansari et al, reportaron un caso de 13 SN siendo la región premolar la más afectada (22), coincidiendo con nuestro caso.…”
