Teeth in excess number than the normal count are called supernumerary teeth. They can be either unilateral or bilateral and single or multiple, found at any place in the dental arch, but most commonly found in the anterior maxillary region. Supernumerary teeth are commonly associated with syndromes when present in more numbers, but can be idiopathic. The present study shows a case report of a 16-year-old female patient who reported with overretained deciduous teeth. A panoramic radiograph showed multiple impacted supernumerary teeth. Based on clinical features and radiographic examination, a diagnosis of idiopathic hyperdontia was given. In such types of patients, management must be planned by a multidisciplinary approach.
牙齿数量超过正常数量被称为多生牙。它们可以是单侧或双侧的,单个或多个,可出现在牙弓的任何位置,但最常见于上颌前部区域。当多生牙数量较多时,通常与综合征相关,但也可能是特发性的。本研究展示了一例16岁女性患者的病例报告,该患者因乳牙滞留前来就诊。全景X线片显示有多个埋伏多生牙。根据临床特征和影像学检查,诊断为特发性多生牙。对于这类患者,必须采用多学科方法制定治疗方案。
