Abstract
The presence of supernumerary teeth is a relatively frequent odontogenic disorder. Supernumerary teeth should be extracted immediately if any complications such as diastema and delayed eruption are present; early diagnosis is therefore crucial.A 6-year-old boy had an impacted and inverted supernumerary tooth in the anterior maxilla. Removal was recommended but was not performed, at the patient's request. The patient's condition was monitored using oral and radiographic examinations for a period of 2 years. During that time, the supernumerary tooth underwent extensive resorption. The resorption of an impacted supernumerary tooth is extremely rare. In this unusual case, resorption was complete.
