The management of non-syndromic supernumerary teeth - Case report

Abstract

Supernumerary teeth are the most common dental anomalies found in permanent dentition. They are usually present in genetic syndromes, their presence in the absence of these syndromes being quite low. The case presented by us is of a male patient, aged 15 years that presented in order to solve a minor aesthetic problem. Following the paraclinical investigations (Orthopantomography and Cone Beam Computed Tomography) the presence of two supernumerary teeth was highlighted, a mesiodense and a tooth located between the roots of the teeth 12-13. The treatment was surgical extraction.
