Introduction: Supernumerary teeth are excess teeth that
occur in deciduous and permanent
dentition due to environmental and genetic reasons. In the
literature, 76-86% are single teeth, 12-
23% are two teeth, and less than 1% are three or more
supernumerary teeth.
Case Report: This case report describes a rare combination
of supernumerary teeth and
amelogenesis imperfecta in a 15-year-old male adolescent.
The patient admitted to our clinic
with complaint of pain in the tooth site 36. A panoramic
radiograph showed the presence of
multiple impacted supernumerary teeth in the right quadrants
of the jaws and one supernumerary
tooth in the left quadrants of the jaws.
Discussion: In the present case, the presence of
supernumerary teeth in all quadrants was an
incidental finding. Amelogenesis imperfecta, has been
associated with dental anomalies,
including taurodontism, congenitally missing teeth, delayed
eruption, crown resorption, and
abnormal enamel density. In addition, our patient had a
large number of impacted supernumerary
teeth.
Conclusion: Early detection and routine controls are
important to reduce the complications of
supernumerary teeth. Panoramic radiography is sufficient for
control examinations, but in
suspicious cases, advanced imaging such as cone-beam
computed tomography may be required.
