Rare Presentation of Multiple Non-syndromic Supernumerary Premolars Affecting All Quadrants

Supernumerary teeth are developmental anomalies that may occur anywhere in the dental arch, most frequently in the maxilla. While single or few supernumeraries are relatively common, the presence of multiple supernumerary premolars in all quadrants is an extremely rare phenomenon, particularly in non-syndromic patients. This report describes a 12-year-old male presenting with dental caries, in whom routine radiographic examination revealed multiple supernumerary premolars distributed across all quadrants. Relevant literature is also discussed to highlight the rarity, clinical implications, and management considerations of such cases.

Abstract

Supernumerary teeth are developmental anomalies that may occur anywhere in the dental arch, most frequently in the maxilla. While single or few supernumeraries are relatively common, the presence of multiple supernumerary premolars in all quadrants is an extremely rare phenomenon, particularly in non-syndromic patients. This report describes a 12-year-old male presenting with dental caries, in whom routine radiographic examination revealed multiple supernumerary premolars distributed across all quadrants. Relevant literature is also discussed to highlight the rarity, clinical implications, and management considerations of such cases.
