Nonsyndromic multiple supernumerary premolars: Report of three cases
Journal Title: THE HEALTH AGENDA - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Supernumerary teeth are those which occur in excess of the usual number of teeth. Occurrence of single supernumerary tooth is very common. Development of multiple supernumerary teeth is relatively uncommon. Multiple supernumerary teeth most frequently develop in mandibular premolar region. Sometimes multiple supernumerary teeth are associated with syndromic condition. Here, we report three cases of non-syndromic multiple supernumerary teeth in mandibular premolar region. The article includes delineation of clinico-radiological details of the cases, elaboration of etiology of hyperdontia and syndromic conditions associated with supernumerary teeth. Clinical problems associated with the presence of excess number of teeth and treatment options are also discussed.
