Supernumerary eumorphic mandibular incisor in association with aggressive periodontitis

Abstract

According to the literature, the prevalence of supernumerary teeth is 1% to 4% of permanent dentitions; and among these, the presence of fifth mandibular incisor — a supernumerary eumorphic tooth — has rarely been described in literature, and its association with localized aggressive periodontitis is an even more rare entity. This paper reports a very rare case of unusual association of supernumerary eumorphic fifth mandibular incisor with aggressive periodontitis in a Muslim individual, so that these findings generate curiosity and inspire others to carry out further studies and investigations.

Surgical Management of a Supplemental Permanent Maxillary Tooth with Mesiodens in a Non-Syndromic Patient: A Case Report

“…Moreover, it has been suggested that the tooth that is prominently displaced from the line of the arch can be extracted. [9][10][11] The non-erupted mesiodens was extracted as the incisor root development was complete. Furthermore, it had the potential of causing complications like development of odontogenic cyst or tumour, adenomatoid odontogenic tumor and odontogenic keratocyst.…”

The doppelganger tooth: A diagnostic conundrum!

“…In such conditions, their differentiation from their supernumerary counterparts assumes a difficult procedure thereby making it a diagnostic conundrum. [ 14 15 16 ]…”

“…In the present case, surgery was planned as both the supernumeraries were located in the upper anterior zone and the child patient was 10 years old, as recommended by Rajab et al [8] Supplemental tooth was extracted as its presence was causing aesthetic and functional interference along with oral hygiene maintenance. Moreover, it has been suggested that the tooth that is prominently displaced from the line of the arch can be extracted [9][10][11]. The non-erupted mesiodens was extracted as the incisor root development was complete.…”
