It results from the abnormal instruction received during odontogenesis. These teeth are extra in the arch or unerupted. When it remains unerupted, it may cause disturbance to the developing teeth. In this case the patient approached for psychological (cancer- phobic) reason for the treatment. This case is also interesting because of presence of ST between upper first and second molar, which has rare in occurrence and is termed as “paramolar tooth”. The supernumerary tooth was extracted under local anesthesia.
