Multiple supernumerary teeth affecting all four quadrants of the jaw are a rare dental anomaly which has become a chance finding on routine dental panoramic tomography (DPT). In this paper, two cases from the English-speaking Caribbean are reported. The role of radiography in the diagnosis and management of this rare developmental dental anomaly is emphasized. The paper stresses the importance of ruling out associated syndromes such as Gardner's Syndrome, cleidocranial dysostosis and cleft lip and palates, as multiple supernumerary teeth are usually related to such conditions. There is a review of the literature as it relates to supernumerary teeth.
影响颌骨所有四个象限的多生牙是一种罕见的牙齿异常，在常规牙科全景断层扫描（DPT）中偶然发现。本文报告了来自加勒比地区英语国家的两例病例。强调了放射照相在这种罕见的发育性牙齿异常的诊断和管理中的作用。本文强调了排除相关综合征如加德纳综合征、锁骨颅骨发育不全和唇腭裂的重要性，因为多生牙通常与这些情况有关。本文还对与多生牙相关的文献进行了综述。
