Current literature regarding supernumerary teeth poses the risk of confusion as ambiguity in the terminology and classification of supernumerary teeth permits differing interpretations. Uncertainty in this regard distorts data on the true incidence and prevalence of supernumerary teeth. This pictorial review provides an overview of the current understanding regarding the development of supernumerary teeth, their positional and morphological classification, and eruptive alterations. We highlight the ambiguity in defining supernumerary teeth and propose an updated classification for the description of these teeth.
目前关于多生牙的文献存在混淆风险，因为多生牙的术语和分类不明确，可能导致不同的解读。这方面的不确定性扭曲了多生牙真实发病率和患病率的数据。本图片综述概述了目前对多生牙发育、位置和形态分类以及萌出改变的认识。我们强调了在定义多生牙方面的模糊性，并提出了一种更新的分类方法来描述这些牙齿。
