Eight supernumerary teeth in a non-syndromic patient: A case report

Hyperdontia is the increase in the number of teeth. Hereditary patterns have been suggested and many cases are multifactorial. Syndromes such as Cleidocranial dysplasia and Down syndrome are associated with hyperdontia and non-syndromic cases are very rare. The aim of this study was to report multiple supernumerary teeth in a non-syndromic patient. A 25-year-old female patient without any systemic, metabolic, or mental disorders has been referred to the Department of oral medicine, Isfahan school of dentistry for an oral examination. In the panoramic radiography, 12 impacted teeth were accidentally found. Four of them were impacted third molars and the rest were supernumerary teeth. The presence of supernumerary teeth causes situations such as eruption latency of permanent teeth and root resorption of adjacent teeth. In these cases, a complete clinical and radiographic examination of the patient with a detailed medical and dental history should be performed for the appropriate surgical and orthodontic treatment plan.
