AIM To assess the morphology of supernumerary lateral incisors and describe the concomitant malocclusion. MATERIAL AND METHODS Intraoral examination and analysis of panoramic views as well as study casts has been proceeded in 18 patients with supernumerary laterals. The widths of the normal and supernumerary laterals were measured. RESULTS 20 supernumerary incisors were found (in 2 patients...

OBJECTIVE The objectives of the present study were to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of supernumerary teeth and evaluate the associated pathologies and treatment protocol in a Turkish patient population. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective study was performed using full-mouth periapical and panoramic radiographs of 3491 patients (2146 females and 1345 males) ranging in age from 12 to...

Several studies have demonstrated that motor axons can discriminate between dorsally and ventrally derived muscles. In this paper we present evidence that (1) the pathway axons take in the limb constrain their access to either dorsally or ventrally derived muscles, and therefore (2) the axon's ability to discriminate between dorsal and ventral is expressed already at the level of pathway select...

SINCE the first fundamental papers of Paul Weiss (1924), a considerable body of evidence has been accumulated in favour of the assumption that different tissues or organs transplanted heterotopically exert some specific modulatory influence on neurons, the processes of which happened to grow into the grafts; the grafts in turn provide these neurons with capacities present in the neurons normall...

Supernumerary teeth are defined as the teeth developed in excess of the number found in a normal dentition. Supernumerary canine is an extremely rare finding particularly in the mandible. This case report presents a 25-year-old female patient with the unique feature of bilateral mandibular supplemental supernumerary canines. The patient was non-syndromic without any other supernumerary teeth.

Background and Aim : The objective of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of non–syndromic supernumerary teeth, to classify them, to identify the related complications, and to determine the type of the treatment for them. Subjects and Methods : This retrospective study used 7753 panoramic radiographs of patients who presented themselves at Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department from Ja...

Introduction: Supernumerary teeth are frequently reported in dental clinical practice; however, eruption in nasal cavities and paranasal sinuses is an extremely rare clinical entity.   Case Report: We report two cases with a history of recurrent nasal discharge and obstruction. In both cases, clinical and radiological findings confirmed the presence of an inverted supern...

The objective of the study was to determine the current prevalence of supernumerary teeth (PST) in the population of a Swiss community. 3,004 orthopantomograms (OPTs) routinely produced during the annual school dental examinations in the Winterthur municipality from 1990 to 2005 served as the study basis (average age 9.45 years, 1391 girls, 1613 boys, age range 6-15 years). The study found 44 s...

The aim of this article was to review the literature on supernumerary teeth, analyzing their prevalence, etiology, diagnosis, treatment and possible complications. An electronic search was made in the Pubmed-Medline database up to January 2014 using the key search terms "multiple supernumerary teeth" (n=279), "prevalence supernumerary teeth" (n=361), and "supernumerary teeth" (n=2412). In addit...
