Multiple supernumerary teeth are usually associated with various syndromes, but they are relatively uncommon as an isolated dental anomaly. The presence of multiple supplemental premolars in all four quadrants and especially in the maxilla is rare. This report presents a unique case of multiple supplemental premolars in all four quadrants that were distributed unevenly (two erupted; five unerupted). A series of radiographs taken over four years demonstrated further sequential developing bilateral supplemental premolars in the maxilla, where they are considered the rarest. Appropriate management and the importance of regular radiographic monitoring of such cases are briefly reviewed.
多生牙通常与各种综合征相关,但作为一种孤立的牙齿异常相对少见。在所有四个象限尤其是上颌中出现多个额外前磨牙的情况罕见。本报告呈现了一个独特病例,所有四个象限均有多个额外前磨牙,且分布不均(两颗已萌出;五颗未萌出)。在四年期间拍摄的一系列X光片显示,上颌中双侧额外前磨牙进一步依次发育,而上颌被认为是此类情况最罕见的部位。本文简要回顾了对此类病例的恰当处理以及定期进行X光监测的重要性。
