A supernumerary tooth was detected in the left maxilla during an osteology teaching session with undergraduate medical students. Supernumerary teeth have previously been detected in individuals who have approached a dental surgeon with a complaint and who have then been diagnosed by X-ray. Asymptomatic cases are frequently not diagnosed in time and it is only the malalignment or delayed eruption of the tooth which raises the suspicion that this type of dental anomaly is present. The present paper highlights the anatomico-radiological study of a supernumerary maxillary tooth in a bone specimen and describes its clinical implications. Precise anatomical details of the supernumerary maxillary tooth might be of significant clinical interest to dental and maxillofacial surgeons in drawing up a plan for orthodontic treatment and may thus minimise the possible complications involved.
在一次面向本科医学生的骨学教学课上，发现左侧上颌有一颗多生牙。此前，多生牙是在患者向牙医主诉后经X线诊断发现的。无症状的病例常常未能及时诊断，只有当牙齿排列不齐或萌出延迟时，才会让人怀疑存在这种牙齿异常情况。本文着重介绍了对一块骨标本中上颌多生牙的解剖学放射学研究，并描述了其临床意义。上颌多生牙精确的解剖细节对于牙科和颌面外科医生制定正畸治疗方案可能具有重要的临床意义，从而可以尽量减少可能出现的并发症。
