Abstract
Objective. This case report presents 3-year follow-up of a case of nonsyndromic multiple supernumerary teeth (NSMST) with 11 supernumerary teeth, 2 of which showed subsequent formation. Case Report. A 10-year-old girl was referred to the dental clinic with the chief complaint of delayed eruption. Radiographic examination showed 9 retained supernumerary teeth. The treatment plan consisted of extraction of the supernumerary teeth and associated primary teeth in order to allow the permanent teeth to erupt. After 2 years of follow-up, 2 additional supernumerary teeth were observed. Conclusion. Regular follow-up for late forming supernumeraries is crucial for NSMST cases.
Highlights
Supernumerary teeth refer to teeth in excess of the normal full complement of teeth in primary or permanent dentition
Nonsyndromic multiple supernumerary teeth (NSMST) is a rare disorder that describes the presence of five or more supernumerary teeth not associated with another disease such as those mentioned above [2, 3]
Various authors have reported cases of NSMST in which supernumerary teeth were seen in the premolar region of the mandible and the anterior-superior and molar region of the maxilla [1,2,3,4,5]
