Supernumerary and Supplementary Teeth in a Non-syndromic Patients.
Medical archives (Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
BACKGROUND:Irregularities in the number of teeth can also occur in deciduous and in permanent dentition. OBJECTIVE:The aim of this article is to report the case of a seven years old child and a 27 years old male patient affected by a numeric dental anomaly. METHODS:This paper has shown the pathologic condition characterized by the presence of supernumerary tooth (mesiodens) and supernumerary canine as well as supplementary premolars in a non-syndromic patients. Clinical and instrumental examinations were made to perform a correct orthodontic examination and diagnosis. A young patient was affected by numeric dental anomaly in the upper jaw. An adult patient was affected by numeric anomaly in both jaws, supplementary premolars in lower jaw and a supernumerary canine in lower and upper jaw. DISCUSSION:The aim of surgical-orthodontic treatment was extraction of the erupted supernumerary teeth to obtain the physiologic eruption and placement of the permanent ones. CONCLUSION:Therapy of supernumerary/ supplementary teeth is the extraction. But also, an excess tooth in the dentition can be left as a replacement tooth, due to a previously lost permanent tooth from the dentition, if its biological value and potential is sufficient to complete the dentition both functionally and aesthetically.

Non-syndromic multiple supernumerary teeth: meta-analysis.
Alvira-González Joaquín,Gay-Escoda Cosme
Journal of oral pathology & medicine : official publication of the International Association of Oral Pathologists and the American Academy of Oral Pathology
BACKGROUND:Non-syndromic multiple supernumerary teeth (NSMST) is a condition with a very low prevalence and which is opportunely described in the literature by case reports or group of cases. This represents a problem when it comes to describing and discussing the characteristics of this disorder. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A search was conducted in PubMed, Web of Knowledge, Science Direct, and Scopus databases to locate and identify cases and series of cases about articles on multiple supernumerary teeth not associated with syndromes that have been reported so far. The following data were recorded: age, gender, total number of supernumerary teeth, number of teeth in both the maxilla and mandible, respectively, and number of teeth in each dental series (incisor, canine-premolar, and molar). Bilaterality in dental series and its localization in either maxilla or mandible were also determined. RESULTS:A total of 46 cases including patients of both genders with a mean age of 19 years (SD = 6.826) and a ratio of 2.14:1 were identified. A total of 393 supernumeraries were reported; 43.26% (n = 170) were located in the maxilla and 56.74% (n = 223) in the mandible. No significant differences were found between genders with respect to the total number, involvement of the dental series, or distribution of supernumerary teeth in each of the arches. CONCLUSION:Although NSMST is a condition that has a higher incidence in the male gender, no differences have been found as to their number and localization in both genders. Bilaterality seems to be a common characteristic of this disorder.

Identification of supernumerary teeth in 2D and 3D: review of literature and a proposal.
Toureno Leo,Park Jae Hyun,Cederberg Robert A,Hwang Eui Hwan,Shin Je-Won
Journal of dental education
Supernumerary teeth occur in both syndromic and nonsyndromic patients, and dental professionals are likely to encounter such teeth in their professional careers. There are three main numbering systems used to identify teeth today: the Universal/ National, the Palmer/Zsigmondy notation, and the Federation Dentaire Internationale (FDI) numbering systems. However, a review of the literature suggests that none of these three consistently addresses the identification of supernumerary teeth. Being able to communicate the location of supernumerary teeth is important for dental professionals, especially in interdisciplinary situations. This article proposes a guideline to locate and identify supernumerary teeth in two and three dimensions, which may reduce treatment errors and improve communication among health care providers and third-party administrators.
Supernumerary teeth: review of the literature and a survey of 152 cases.
Rajab L D,Hamdan M A M
International journal of paediatric dentistry
INTRODUCTION:A review of the literature relating to supernumerary teeth is presented along with a survey of 152 cases. METHODS:The study population consisted of 152 children who visited the department of Paediatric Dentistry at the Jordan University Hospital. Patients ranged in age from 5 to 15 years. Supernumeraries were detected by clinical examination and radiographs. RESULTS:Males were affected more than females with a sex ratio of 2.2 : 1. Seventy-seven percent of the patients had one supernumerary tooth, 18.4% had double teeth, and 4.6% had three or more supernumeraries. Ninety percent of the supernumerary teeth occurred in the premaxilla, of which 92.8% were in the central incisor region and of these latter 25% were located in the midline. The other 10.4% of the supernumeraries were located in the premolar, canine, molar, and lower central incisor regions. Two cases were of non-syndrome supernumerary teeth. Seventy-five percent of the supernumeraries were conical, 83.1% were in the normal vertical position and 26.5% were erupted. Conical-shaped supernumerary teeth had a significantly higher rate of eruption compared to the tuberculate type.

Supernumerary teeth: literature review.
Rao P V,Chidzonga M M
The Central African journal of medicine
A review of the literature on supernumerary teeth in general and supernumerary molars in particular was carried out on prevalence, aetiology, complications and the treatment of supernumerary teeth. Additional teeth are relatively common and are usually of simple conical shape (supernumerary teeth) but may resemble teeth of the normal size and shape. The aim of this review is to provide reference material for dental practitioners in Zimbabwe.

Odontomas and supernumerary teeth: is there a common origin?
International journal of medical sciences
The aim of the present work is to analyze all scientific evidence to verify whether similarities supporting a unified explanation for odontomas and supernumerary teeth exist. A literature search was first conducted for epidemiologic studies indexed by PubMed, to verify their worldwide incidence. The analysis of the literature data shows some interesting similarities between odontomas and supernumerary teeth concerning their topographic distribution and pathologic manifestations. There is also some indication of common genetic and immuno-histochemical factors. Although from a nosological point of view, odontomas and supernumeraries are classified as distinct entities, they seem to be the expression of the same pathologic process, either malformative or hamartomatous.

The epidemiology of supernumerary teeth and the associated molecular mechanism.
Lu Xi,Yu Fang,Liu Junjun,Cai Wenping,Zhao Yumei,Zhao Shouliang,Liu Shangfeng
Organogenesis
Supernumerary teeth are common clinical dental anomalies. Although various studies have provided abundant information regarding genes and signaling pathways involved in tooth morphogenesis, which include Wnt, FGF, BMP, and Shh, the molecular mechanism of tooth formation, especially for supernumerary teeth, is still unclear. In the population, some cases of supernumerary teeth are sporadic, while others are syndrome-related with familial hereditary. The prompt and accurate diagnosis of syndrome related supernumerary teeth is quite important for some distinctive disorders. Mice are the most commonly used model system for investigating supernumerary teeth. The upregulation of Wnt and Shh signaling in the dental epithelium results in the formation of multiple supernumerary teeth in mice. Understanding the molecular mechanism of supernumerary teeth is also a component of understanding tooth formation in general and provides clinical guidance for early diagnosis and treatment in the future.
