Supernumerary teeth can present in various forms and in any region of the mandible or maxilla, but have a predisposition for the anterior maxilla. It is a developmental anomaly and has been argued to arise from multiple etiologies. A hyperactive dental lamina where the localized and independent hyperactivity of dental lamina is the most accepted cause for the development of the supernumerary te...

Out of a total of 21 exencephalic p53-deficient embryonic and newborn mice, 6 (28.6%) possessed fused maxillary incisor teeth. On histological analysis of the 5 examples seen on day 19.5 of gestation and newborn mice, 3 varieties were observed: an example of 'simple' fusion, 3 examples of simple fusion each of which contained a 'dens in dente' ('tooth within a tooth'), and a single example in w...

talon cusp is an accessory cusp similar to a projection, extending from the cingulum or cemento-enamel junction to the incisal edge. it occurs on labial or palatal surfaces of primary or permanent anterior teeth in both arches. this accessory cusp can occur as an isolated entity or in association with other dental anomalies. occurrence of a talon cusp on supernumerary teeth is rare and uncommon...

Although impaction of permanent teeth is rarely diagnosed in mixed dentition period, an impacted central incisor is usually diagnosed when there is a delay in the eruption of tooth. Tooth impaction may result from...
