Impaction of maxillary central incisors is frequent in dental practice. However its management is challenging because of its importance in aesthetics. Supernumerary teeth are the most common dental anomaly that can cause impaction of adjacent teeth, crowding, diastema, rotation and displacement of teeth. We report a case of 13 year old male with an impacted supernumerary tooth in the maxillary anterior region, which was interfering with the eruption of the permanent, left central incisor. The impacted supernumerary tooth was surgically removed. With the application of an orthodontic traction, impacted left maxillary central incisor was brought down to its proper position in the dental arch.

Supernumerary teeth are teeth in excess of the normal series occurring in any region of the dental arch. They are located mostly in the anterior maxillary region and are classified according to their location and morphology. The tuberculate type of supernumerary tooth possesses more than one cusp or tubercle (barrel shaped). It is rare to find bilateral tuberculate supernumerary teeth in the premaxillary region and when found they rarely erupt. This report describes a 13-year-old boy with erupted palatally placed bilateral tuberculate supernumerary teeth. The presence of these supernumerary teeth led to the labial displacement and rotations of the anterior maxillary teeth. The treatment involved extraction of the supernumerary teeth and a referral for orthodontic management of the crowding, displacement and rotations. The occurrence of erupted palatally placed tuberculate anterior teeth in this case is a rare experience. However, the associated orthodontic problems are within familiar spectrum.

Supernumerary tooth is one that is additional to the normal series and can be found in almost any region of the dental arch .Mesiodens is the most common type of supernumerary tooth found in the premaxilla between two central incisors. They may be single, multiple, unilateral or bilateral, erupted or unerupted in one or, both jaw. It usually results in oral problems such as malocclusion, food impaction, poor aesthetics, and cyst formation. Early diagnosis and treatment is suggested to prevent orthodontic and pathologic complications. This article highlights the orthodontic management of a case of twenty five year old Bangladeshi male with two supernumeraries- one is a supplemental tooth erupted in the oral cavity causing malocclusion and another impacted mesiodens near the nasal floor. The case was managed by a joint effort of maxillofacial surgeon and orthodontist. At first, maxillofacial surgeon removed the two supernumerary teeth. After healing the orthodontic correction was done with fixed appliance using multiloop edgewise technique. It took nearly 18 months to complete the treatment. The patient was happy with the new appearance and function. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjodfo.v2i1.16002 Ban J Orthod & Dentofac Orthop, October 2011; Vol-2, No.1, 30-33

A supernumerary tooth (ST) is defined as any tooth or odontogenic structure that is formed from tooth germ in excess of usual number for any given region of the dental arch. They may be single or multiple and unilateral or bilateral in distribution and can occur in any region of the dental arch. These may occur in primary and permanent dentition. Supernumerary teeth are more frequent in males. They are classified based on form, morphology, location, and occurrence. Several hypotheses have been proposed to explain the occurrence of ST. However, combination of environmental and genetic factors has been proposed. Supernumerary teeth cause a range of complications like crowding, displacement, dilacerations, cyst formation, and so forth. Early identification and appropriate treatment plan should minimize the potential complications caused by ST.

Supernumerary teeth are those that are additional to the normal complement. They may occur in any region of the dental arch and have been reported in both the primary and the permanent dentitions. The etiology of supernumerary teeth is still not clearly understood, but several theories have been suggested for their occurrence. The investigated material were the remains from the Bácsalmás-Óalmás burial site (from the 16th-17th centuries), where 472 skeletons were excavated from 1993 to 2003. For the purpose of this study, the dentitions of 164 adult individuals were examined. The examination was carried out using macromorphological methods, radiographic analysis and a dial caliper were applied. This paper describes a supernumerary tooth of an adult female skeleton. On the labial surface of the first mandibular premolar an extra tooth was observed.Radiographic examination of the fused teeth indicated that the crown of the premolar had fused incompletely with the crown of the extra tooth. The position of the extra tooth could have been the result of gemination of the tooth germ or the elaboration of the buccal cingulum. The cranium of the examined individual showed some mongoloid morphologic features, too. Our presumption about the formation of the supernumerary tooth may have contributed to the theories of the occurrence of supernumeraries. The sporadic occurrence of this anomaly was reported in recent and archaeological skeletal collections. This study showed that multiple permanent dental formation was present in past Hungarian populations, representing a contribution to the history of dental anomalies.

It is evident that hyperdontia is more common in the permanent dentition than in the primary. There is a considerable difference between males and females in the prevalence of these teeth in permanent dentition; hyperdontia is twice as common in males as in females. However, this approximation varies in terms of location, other associating syndromes that may be present, and the ethnicity of the individual. In terms of ethnicity, it can be seen that hyperdontia is in fact less common in Caucasian than in Asian populations. There is evidence to show that an individual is more likely to have hyperdontia if other members of their family also have the condition. Hence the present study was planned for evaluation of occurrence of hyperdontia in non-syndromic  population from Bihar Region. The present study was planned in Public Health Dentistry, Patna Dental College and Hospital, Patna, Bihar. Total 195 patients referred to Department of Dentistry were evaluated in the present study. Panoramic radiographs and clinical records of patients above the age of 18 years and without any syndromic features were selected for the study.  All the radiographs were examined for the presence of supernumerary teeth, their location, morphology, and number. Morphologically, teeth were classified as conical, tuberculate, supplemental, and odontoma. Early diagnosis of dental anomalies can prevent some esthetic, orthodontic, and periodontal problems, and knowledge of the prevalence and distribution of the anomalies may help clinicians to the detection of these anomalies at early stages. Our study evaluated the prevalence of selected dental anomalies; future studies should investigate the prevalence of dental anomalies of all types.

Mesiodens is a midline supernumerary tooth commonly seen in the maxillary arch, and incidence of molariform mesiodens in the maxillary midline is rare in permanent dentition and extremely uncommon in primary dentition. A midline supernumerary tooth in the primary dentition can cause ectopic or delayed eruption of permanent central incisors which will further alter occlusion and may compromise esthetics and formation of dentigerous cysts. This paper reports a rare case of the presence of a molariform mesiodens in the primary dentition. On clinical and radiographic examination, flaring of the primary central incisors was seen, with a molariform mesiodens consisting of multiple lobes or tubercles on the occlusal surface with the well-formed root. The treatment plan consisted of the extraction of the supernumerary tooth and regular observation of permanent central incisors for proper eruption and alignment.

Latar belakang: suatu kasus impaksi gigi dapat menyebabkan maloklusi, dan kelainan oklusi akan semakin bertambah dengan bertambahnya usia. Impaksi gigi kaninus merupakan gigi kedua setelah gigi molar ketiga yang berfrekuensi tinggi untuk mengalami impaksi, persentasenya sekitar 12%-15% dari populasi. Gigi supernumerary adalah gigi tambahan/berlebih, sehingga jumlah gigi yang terbentuk dalam rahang lebih banyak dari jumlah normal. Terjadinya impaksi gigi kaninus dan supernumerary secara bersamaan jarang terjadi. Tujuan: Menambah wawasan du bidang bedah mulut minor, terutama dalam menangani suatu kasus impaksi gigi kaninus dan supernumerary untuk perawatan orthodonti. Kasus dan Penanganan: Dilaporkan seorang apsien, wanita, berusia 38 tahun yang baru menyadari kelainan maloklusinya dengan keluhan gigi depannya bertambah maju akibat adanya impaksi gigi kaninus dan impaksi gigi supernumerary. Pasien dikonsulkan dari Bagian Orthodonti ke Bagian Bedah Mulut untuk penanganan impaksi gigi kaninus dan supernumerary dengan kemungkinan untuk mempertahankan gigi kaninus memulai pembedahan. Dengan berbagai pertimbangan, penderita pada akhirnya menjalani operasi pengambilan gigi kaninus dan gigi supernumerary di Bagian Bedah Mulut RSGM Prof. Soedomo. Langkah-langkah diagnosis, operasi dan berbagai kemungkinan komplikasi juga turut disertakan di dalam pembahasan. Kesimpulan: Pengambilan gigi kaninus dan gigi supernumerary yang terpendam merupakan pilihan perawatan jika tidak memungkinkan untuk dilakukan exposure pada impaksi gigi kaninus pada maksila. Background: Impacted canines is the second most impacted tooth after third molar impaction, approximately 12%-15% of the population present with impacted canines. A supernumerary tooth is one that is additional to the normal series and can be found in almost any region of the dental arch. The incidence of an impacted canines as a sequent with a supernumerary tooth is very rare. Purpose: The aim of this case report is to add more information about a minor surgery due to canine and supernumerary tooth impaction for orthodontic treatment. Case and Management: We reported a case of a woman, 38 years old who have noticed a malocclution through the forwardness movement of her anterior teeth, due to the present of impacted canine and supernumerary. The patient consulted from orthodontic department to oral and maxillofacial department for further assessment, treatment and also the probability for surgical exposure of impacted canine. We have decided to do odontectomy for the impacted canine and supernumerary tooth as well at Oral and Maxillofacial department, Prof. Soedomo Hospital. The diagnosis process, exposure of impacted canine considerations are also discussed. Conclusion: the odontectomy for impacted canine and supernumerary teeth had performed as last options if there is impossible to do an exposure of an impacted canine.

A wide variety of processes can affect the formation of teeth during development. The number, size, shape, and quality of dental hard tis­sue may be abnormal and teeth may erupt early or be prematurely shed or resorbed. When a child presents with a tooth abnormality, the clin­ical and radiographic features are often distinctive and management depends on diagnosis (Box 5.1). Broadly, developmental abnormal­ities of the teeth can be either genetically determined or acquired as a result of injurious processes affecting the developing teeth. It can be problematic to make a diagnosis, particularly when teeth initially erupt. Sometimes pathological examination of a shed or extracted tooth by ground sectioning (for enamel) or conventional sectioning of a decalci­fied tooth can provide a diagnosis. Research has provided insights into the genetic and structural basis of dental anomalies, and has resulted in a complex and extensive classification of subtypes. Minor abnormal­ities, such as failure of development of a few teeth or enamel erosion in adult life, may be dealt with in general dental practice, but it is advisable to refer younger patients with more complex or extensive dental abnor­malities to a specialist in child dental health, with links to expert diag­nostic facilities and input from orthodontic and restorative colleagues. The publically available Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database provides an invaluable resource for genetic disorders, including dental abnormalities. Supernumerary teeth are common and may be rudimentary in form or of normal morphology, when they are referred to as supplemental teeth. The most common supernumerary tooth occurs in the mid- line of the maxillary alveolus and is referred to as a mesiodens, which usually has a conical shape. Eruption of adjacent normal successor teeth may be impeded by a mesiodens, which is an indication for its removal. Most supernumerary teeth occur as a sporadic event in devel­opment, but multiple extra teeth can be found in certain developmen­tal disorders. Failure of development of tooth germs results in teeth missing from the dental arch and is referred to as hypodontia. Most often the missing teeth are third molars, second premolars, and upper lateral incisors. Hypodontia is more common in the permanent dentition than in the primary teeth.
