Supernumerary teeth are defined as any teeth in excess of normal number. Mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth, in the central region of premaxilla between two central incisors. Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly resulting from invagination in the surface of tooth crown before calcification has occurred. Radiographically, it is observed as infolding of a radioopaque ribbon like structure, with equal density as enamel, extending from cingulum into a root canal and sometimes reaching the root apex. This paper aims to present a rare association of dens invaginatus with two mesiodentes in a child causing the eruption disturbance and unaesthetic appearance in anterior maxilla.

Supernumerary teeth are defined as any supplementary tooth in addition to usual configuration of twenty deciduous and thirty-two permanent teeth. They are most commonly found in the anterior maxilla and mandibular bicuspid region. Although supernumerary teeth have been reported in the incisor region of the mandible, they are very rare. It has been confirmed that approximately 25% of permanent supernumerary teeth appear in the mouth, the rest remains unerupted. The aim of this study was to present a case of single, erupted, supernumerary tooth in the right incisal region of the mandible. A patient showed up at the dental office complaining about aesthetic problem caused by a supernumerary tooth in mandibular incisal region. On intraoral examination, a supernumerary tooth, conical in shape and labially positioned, between the tooth 42 and 43, was observed. On previously taken panoramic radiogram, six months ago, the supernumerary tooth was undetected. Because the supernumerary tooth was masked by the denser overlying cortical bone, it was difficult to interpret the radiogram correctly. It should be noted that panoramic radiography does not guarantee accurate diagnosis of supernumerary teeth, therefore additional diagnostic methods are required.

ABSTRACT Supernumerary tooth, also known as hyperdontia, is the condition where more than the normal number of teeth is present. By definition, the supernumerary teeth are the extra teeth present in the oral cavity. They can be found in the region of oral cavity, but are common in the maxilla than mandible.   Supernumerary teeth may be encountered by the dental practitioner as a chance finding on a radiograph or as the cause of an impacted central incisor. Their presence may give rise to a variety of clinical problems. Detection of supernumerary is best achieved through clinical and radiographic examination. This article shows the cases of supernumerary teeth in mandibular premolar region and maxillary third molar region along with its etiology, frequency, classification, complication, and management.

Deeply impacted supernumerary teeth in the anterior maxillary cannot be generally removed by the conventional labial or palatal surgical approach because of the risk of damaging the surrounding soft tissues and the possibility of injuring the roots of adjacent permanent teeth. In piezosurgery, bony tissues are selectively cut, thereby avoiding the soft tissue damage caused by rotary cutting instruments. We report the case of a 15-year-old Japanese boy from whom a deeply impacted supernumerary tooth in the anterior maxillary was safely removed through the floor of the nasal cavity. The surgical extraction was performed without damaging the nasal mucosa or adjacent structures such as the roots of the adjacent permanent teeth. Considering that piezosurgery limits the extent of surgical invasion, this technique can be practiced as a minimally invasive and safe surgical procedure for treating suitably selected cases with a deeply impacted supernumerary tooth.

Delayed Eruption

Supernumerary teeth can develop in any location of the mandible or maxilla and may have a significant impact on the developing dentition. This paper reviews the prevalence, aetiology and classification of supernumerary teeth. It also describes their clinical characteristics and management options. A case report involving the interdisciplinary management of delayed eruption of central incisors due to the presence of a supernumerary tooth is outlined. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Timely diagnosis and appropriate management may reduce the potential problems associated with supernumerary teeth. General dental practitioners should be aware of the clinical characteristics and management options related to supernumerary teeth.

Background: Supernumerary teeth are one of the most common anomalies in the human dentition, found most frequently in the maxillary anterior region causing impaction or displacement of the adjacent permanent teeth. Aim :The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of supernumerary teeth in orthodontically treated patients. Study design: Pre-treatment facial and intraoral photographs, study models, panoramic and periapical radiographs of 3,000 consecutively treated orthodontic patients (mean age 12.2 years) from the Department of Orthodontics Tel Aviv University, were examined to detect supernumerary teeth in both arches. They were recorded according to gender, age, number, location, position and morphology. Results: Thirty-six patients, 22 (61%) males and 14 (39%) females with 50 supernumerary teeth, of which 42 (84%) were found in the maxillary anterior region, and 8 (16%) in the mandible, presenting a prevalence of 1.2%. Conclusions: A prevalence of 1.2% was found in our study. The most common supernumerary tooth is mesiodens located at the maxillary anterior region. The characteristics of supernumeraries were based on their morphology, location and position. The most frequent complications caused were rotations, displacement and arrested eruption of maxillary incisors.

Objective. The objectives of the present study were to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of supernumerary teeth in a patient sample of Nepalese children.Study Design. A survey was performed on 2684 patients (1829 females and 1035 males) ranging in age from 6 to 14 for the presence of supernumerary teeth. For each patient with supernumerary teeth the demographic variables (age and sex), number, location, eruption status, and morphology were recorded. Descriptive statistics were performed.Results. Supernumerary teeth were detected in 46 subjects (1.6%), of which 26 were males and 20 were females with a male : female ratio of 1.3 : 1. The most commonly found supernumerary tooth was mesiodens followed by maxillary premolars, maxillary lateral incisor, and mandibular lateral incisor. Of the 55 supernumerary teeth examined, 58.18% (n=32) had conical morphology, followed by tuberculate (30.90%,n=17) and supplemental (10.90%,n=6) forms. The majority of the supernumerary teeth were erupted (56.36%,n=31).Conclusion. The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in Nepalese children was found to be 1.6%, the most frequent type being mesiodens. Conical morphology was found to be the most common form of supernumerary tooth.

Dens Invaginatus

ABSTRACT Dens invaginatus is a dental anomaly caused by an invagination of enamel that affects in most of the cases the crown of the tooth. The treatment depends on the degree of invagination and morphological involvement. This report describes a dental anomaly affecting the permanent lower lateral incisor of a 13-year-old patient, which resulted in swelling, pain, and dental impaction. The initial radiographic examination suggested a gemination, a fusion with a supernumerary tooth or a dens invaginatus extending to the root. For more accurate diagnosis and treatment plan of this anomaly, computed tomography scan was performed, which revealed the presence of enamel in the root. Due to pain and the impossibility of performing an orthodontic traction, the treatment of choice in this case was dental extraction. The final diagnosis was confirmed by histopathological examination and revealed the rare occurrence of a radicular dens invaginatus.
