The purpose of this article is to describe the clinical features of otodental syndrome. A 9-year-old boy presented with dental abnormalities that have been described for otodental syndrome. The characteristic findings included large bulbous crowns in canine and molar teeth of both dentitions, deep vertical enamel fissures separating the cusps of affected molars, and hypoplastic yellow areas on ...

In mice, a toothless diastema separates the single incisor from the three molars in each dental quadrant. In the prospective diastema of the embryo, small rudimentary buds are found that are presumed to be rudiments of suppressed teeth. A supernumerary tooth occurs in the diastema of adult mice carrying mutations in either Spry2 or Spry4. In the case of Spry2 mutants, the origin of the supernum...

A case is presented of a nine-year-old male having a supernumerary maxillary right first primary molar together with a supernumerary maxillary right first premolar. The implications of early diagnosis and orthodontic management are discussed. The occurrence of supernumerary teeth in both the primary and permanent dentitions in the same patient seems to be rare. A review of the literature (inclu...

Purpose. Supernumerary roots in permanent mandibular molar teeth make endodontic treatment more complicated. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of Radix Entomolaris (RE) in permanent mandibular first and second molars in the population of Kerman, in the southeast of Iran. Materials and Methods. From a collection of 500 mandibular first and second molar teeth extracted over 20...

This report describes the extraction of a geminated maxillary right permanent central incisor in an 8-year-old white female followed by the autogenous transplantation of a maxillary left supernumerary incisor. A 2-year clinical and radiographic followup revealed no pathologic findings and confirmed continued root development and pulp vitality in the transplanted tooth. This report documents he ...

Abnormalities in number of teeth are occasionally noted in clinical cases. Many theories have been proposed as regards the causes of the occurrence of supernumerary teeth, including atavism theory, mechanical tooth germ separation theory, tissue induction theory, and dental laminar morphological disturbance theory. However, none of these theories alone offers a sufficient explanation for this p...

Radix entomolaris is a supernumerary root located distolingually on permanent mandibular molars. It considered as an anatomical variant and usually curved buccolingually. The presence of radix can be endodontically challenging to treat susceptible endodontic mishaps such ledge. This report describes the management ledge in with type-3 curvature tooth 46. Ledge was bypassed using pre-curved K-fi...

Fusion is a developmental anomaly characterized by the union of two adjacent teeth. In this article we report a rare case of bilateral fusion of permanent mandibular second molars with supernumerary teeth. The rarity with which this entity appears, along with its complex characteristics, often make it difficult to treat. The endodontic management of one tooth is described, as well as the succes...

BACKGROUND Mandibular first molars typically have two roots but sometimes a supernumerary root presents distolingually called as radix entomolaris (RE). AIM The present study evaluated the prevalence of permanent mandibular first molars featuring a distolingual root in Haryana (North India). MATERIALS AND METHODS Five hundred patients possessing bilateral mandibular first molars were select...
