The purpose of this case report is to present a case of a non-syndrome male patient with multiple supplemental supernumerary teeth in three quadrants of his mouth.
Supernumerary teeth are described as the teeth formed in excess of the number found in a normal dentition. Prevalence of supernumerary teeth varies between 0.1% and 3.8% in the general Caucasian population. Multiple supernumerary teeth are not a common occurrence, although a single or a few supernumerary tooth/teeth in each case have been widely reported in the literature.
An 11-year-old male presented for a routine preventive dental visit. A routine panoramic radiograph showed the presence of multiple supernumerary teeth which were located in the maxillary right canine incisor region, the maxillary left premolar region, and the mandibular right premolar region. The family's medical history was non-contributory, and an extraoral examination did not reveal any abnormality.
It is rare to find multiple supernumerary teeth in individuals with no other associated diseases or syndromes. This case report presents a case of a non-syndrome male patient with multiple supplemental supernumerary teeth in three quadrants of his mouth.
本病例报告旨在呈现一例非综合征男性患者，其口腔三个象限存在多颗额外牙。
额外牙是指在正常牙列数量之外形成的牙齿。在一般白种人群中，额外牙的患病率在0.1%至3.8%之间。多颗额外牙并不常见，尽管文献中广泛报道了每例中存在一颗或几颗额外牙的情况。
一名11岁男性前来进行常规预防性牙科检查。一张常规全景X线片显示存在多颗额外牙，位于上颌右尖牙切牙区、上颌左前磨牙区和下颌右前磨牙区。家族病史无相关信息，口腔外检查未发现任何异常。
在没有其他相关疾病或综合征的个体中发现多颗额外牙是罕见的。本病例报告呈现了一例非综合征男性患者，其口腔三个象限存在多颗额外牙。
