Uncommon Case of Supernumerary Teeth and their Management: A Rare Clinical Case Report
Supernumerary teeth are often classified into four groups: conical, supplemental, tuberculate, and odontomas. Supernumerary teeth of the tuberculate kind typically have many cusps or tubercles on the tooth crown. This sporadic eruption into the oral cavity may lead to the maxillary central incisors impaction. The purpose of this article is to discuss surgical management, various problems associated with dental overcrowding, and the need to detect excess teeth early on, as they can cause space loss and impaction of the incisors.
