Abstract
Supernumerary molar teeth rarely occur in the general population. Their presence particularly in the mandible is rarer. The present study summarizes some retrospective studies on Turkish population with distomolar teeth, presents four cases with mandibular distomolar teeth and the administered treatments. Clinically and radiologically accurate identification of teeth is essential to early diagnosis of distomolar teeth. Although supernumerary teeth occur asymptomatically in most cases, impacted ones may cause such pathological phenomena as pain, infections, diastema, neuralgiform pains, root resorption of adjacent tooth, or dentigerous cyst. Therefore, early diagnosis of these teeth highly matters for a successful treatment.
