Bilateral Supplemental Permanent Maxillary Lateral Incisor in a Non-syndromic Pediatric Patient: A Rare Case Report

In the present case report, a 13-year-old girl patient has bilateral supplementary maxillary lateral incisors, a rare type of supernumerary teeth. During a regular checkup, it was discovered that the patient had these additional teeth, although she had no notable medical or dental history. The patient had no symptoms, even though they may have led to occlusal problems. The tooth's morphology was identical to that of the nearby natural teeth, and radiographic imaging verified full root growth. The example illustrates the importance of early diagnosis and individualized treatment planning, taking into account the patient's decision to keep the extra teeth while attending to the main issue of widespread dental sensitivity. This study emphasizes the necessity for tailored patient treatment and the variations in the management of extra teeth.

Abstract

In the present case report, a 13-year-old girl patient has bilateral supplementary maxillary lateral incisors, a rare type of supernumerary teeth. During a regular checkup, it was discovered that the patient had these additional teeth, although she had no notable medical or dental history. The patient had no symptoms, even though they may have led to occlusal problems. The tooth's morphology was identical to that of the nearby natural teeth, and radiographic imaging verified full root growth. The example illustrates the importance of early diagnosis and individualized treatment planning, taking into account the patient's decision to keep the extra teeth while attending to the main issue of widespread dental sensitivity. This study emphasizes the necessity for tailored patient treatment and the variations in the management of extra teeth.
