Third Central Incisor as Supplemental Supernumerary Tooth: A Case Report.
The presence of supplementary teeth is a frequent developmental abnormality that can cause a variety of clinical issues. Impaction, delayed eruption, ectopic eruption, crowding, etc. are examples of clinical issues. Depending on their morphology, a single extra tooth might be conical, tuberculate, or supplementary. There are two types of multiple extra teeth: syndromic and non-syndromic. Their nature and position following appropriate clinical and radiographic tests determine how it should be managed. This case report describes a patient who has three maxillary central incisors, which are permanent and completely separated. It was determined to be the midline unilateral left supplemental central incisor. In these situations, setting up an appropriate treatment strategy is crucial. A comprehensive clinical and radiographic examination, as well as a detailed history, especially the family history in the event of a systemic anomaly, are required. Its consequences and aesthetic issues can be reduced by following a thorough treatment plan. In these situations, a fixed orthodontic treatment plan that includes the extraction of the supplemental central incisor may be the best course of treatment.
