Abstract
Supernumerary teeth may be defined as any teeth or tooth substance in excess of the full complement of primary and permanent teeth. Multiple impacted supernumerary teeth are rare. This case report presents a case with nonfamilial and nonsyndromic multiple supernumerary teeth. 9-year old male patient referred with the chief complaint of the unpleasant appearance of his anterior teeth to Department of Pediatric Dentistry, University of Ondokuz Mayıs, Turkey. Medical and family histories were noncontributory. Extraoral findings did not show any abnormality. Intraoral examination revealed many deep caries lesions and a supernumerary tooth between his maxillary central incisor teeth. Radiographic examination revealed the presence of eleven supernumerary teeth in all four quadrants. The proposed treatment plan consisted of extraction of the erupted and unerupted supernumerary teeth in order to immediate initiate orthodontic treatment. The supernumerary teeth were surgically removed and sent for histopathological examination, which revealed features which are suggestive of odontoma of the compound type. At present the patient is undergoing orthodontic treatment and his regular clinical and radiographic follow ups scheduled. This case highlights the treatment options of a patient with multiple supernumerary teeth and the need for multidisciplinary planning and treatment.
