Multiple Supernumerary Teeth Management in a Non-Syndromic Tunisian Patient: A Case Report

Supernumerary teeth represent a numerical dental anomaly. When present in excess, it is called hyperdontia, which affects both primary and permanent dentition, though permanent dentition is more commonly affected. This clinical case presents hyperdontia involving three supernumerary teeth in the maxillary arch of a non-syndrome 10-year-old child. The diagnosis was made following a consultation prompted by the eruption of a supernumerary tooth with a molar-like shape in the site of the maxillary central incisor and the impaction of this permanent tooth. Subsequently, a radiological examination revealed two additional supernumerary teeth in the premolar region. The treatment plan involved surgical extraction followed by an interceptive phase to guide the eruption of the central incisor.

Abstract

Supernumerary teeth represent a numerical dental anomaly. When present in excess, it is called hyperdontia, which affects both primary and permanent dentition, though permanent dentition is more commonly affected. This clinical case presents hyperdontia involving three supernumerary teeth in the maxillary arch of a non-syndrome 10-year-old child. The diagnosis was made following a consultation prompted by the eruption of a supernumerary tooth with a molar-like shape in the site of the maxillary central incisor and the impaction of this permanent tooth. Subsequently, a radiological examination revealed two additional supernumerary teeth in the premolar region. The treatment plan involved surgical extraction followed by an interceptive phase to guide the eruption of the central incisor.
