Abstract
Supernumerary teeth may be associated with a syndrome or even in non syndromic condition. Etiology of development of supernumerary teeth is not clear. It usually results in oral problems like poor esthetics, malocclusion, crowding and food impaction. This article highlights the surgical management of supernumerary teeth, which were asymptomatic and fully erupted in the oral cavity which caused difficulty and discomfort of speech and crowding in his lower jaw. The case was managed by the joint effort of dentist and oral surgeon. The Patient was willing for the removal of the teeth, though orthodontic management of such teeth could be one priority. The patient was happy after the treatment. Key Messages: The aim of this report was to document a case of non-familial occurrence of multiple supernumerary teeth occurring as an isolated non syndromic trait and to discuss the treatment modalities. Our case report described the clinical features, the type of treatment provided to a patient with non syndromic multiple hyperdontia.
