Non-syndromic Multiple Supernumerary Teeth in the Maxilla and Mandible: A Case Report Highlighting the Diagnostic Role of CBCT

Supernumerary teeth are defined as teeth that exceed the normal complement of the dentition and may occur in any region of the dental arch. Their occurrence in multiple numbers, without association with any syndrome, is relatively uncommon. These additional teeth may lead to various complications such as crowding, caries, delayed eruption, and difficulty in maintaining oral hygiene. The authors present a case report of a 32-year-old male patient who presented with pain in the left mandibular posterior region. Clinical examination revealed a partially erupted mandibular third molar and proximal caries in relation to tooth 34. Multiple supernumerary teeth were observed on the lingual aspect of the bilateral mandibular premolar region and on the palatal aspect of the maxillary arch. Cone Beam Computed Tomography (CBCT) was performed to evaluate the exact number, morphology, and position of the supernumerary teeth, revealing five supernumerary teeth in the mandibular arch and two in the maxillary arch. Based on the clinical and radiological findings, the patient underwent endodontic treatment of tooth 34 and extraction of the mandibular supernumerary teeth. This case highlights the importance of thorough clinical examination combined with advanced imaging modalities such as CBCT in the comprehensive evaluation of impacted and supernumerary teeth, thereby ensuring accurate diagnosis and appropriate treatment planning.
