In the present case report, a 13-year-old girl patient has bilateral supplementary maxillary lateral incisors, a rare type of supernumerary teeth. During a regular checkup, it was discovered that the patient had these additional teeth, although she had no notable medical or dental history. The patient had no symptoms, even though they may have led to occlusal problems. The tooth's morphology was identical to that of the nearby natural teeth, and radiographic imaging verified full root growth. The example illustrates the importance of early diagnosis and individualized treatment planning, taking into account the patient's decision to keep the extra teeth while attending to the main issue of widespread dental sensitivity. This study emphasizes the necessity for tailored patient treatment and the variations in the management of extra teeth.
在本病例报告中,一名13岁的女性患者有双侧额外上颌侧切牙,这是一种罕见的多生牙类型。在一次常规检查中,发现该患者有这些额外的牙齿,尽管她没有明显的医学或牙科病史。患者没有症状,尽管这些额外牙齿可能导致咬合问题。这些额外牙齿的形态与附近的天然牙相同,影像学检查证实牙根已完全发育。该病例说明了早期诊断和个性化治疗计划的重要性,在关注广泛牙齿敏感这一主要问题的同时,还要考虑患者保留这些额外牙齿的决定。本研究强调了针对患者进行个性化治疗的必要性以及处理多生牙的差异。
