Abstract
Supernumerary teeth can present in various forms and in any region of the mandible or maxilla, but have a predisposition for the anterior maxilla. They can cause a variety of complications in the developing dentition. The occurrence of multiple supernumerary teeth in a non syndromic patient is extremely rare and it becomes a difficult task when they remain impacted. Here we present a modified treatment plan and management of such a patient using CBCT.
Highlights
Development of the tooth is a continuous process with a number of physiologic growth processes and various morphologic stages interplay to achieve the tooth’s final form and structure [1]
A supernumerary tooth is one that is additional to the normal series and can be found in almost any region of the dental arch [3]
The most common location of supernumerary teeth is at the premaxillary region and it may cause pathological conditions such as failure of eruption of the maxillary incisors, displacement or rotation of the permanent tooth [4]
