| description | Introduction: Supernumerary teeth are extra teeth to normal dental formula. They are developmental anomalies which may have multiple etiologies. They may or may not erupt in the oral cavity and are mostly diagnosed incidentally. Case Reports: This is the presentation of case series of seven such different types of supernumerary teeth. Among these cases, the treatment of two cases has been shown along with their photographs. Conclusion: Their most common form is mesiodens which are commonly found in the maxillary anterior region creating unesthetic appearance for which patient seeks treatment. If not diagnosed and managed on time they can create complications such as malalignment, diastema, crowding, noneruption, delayed, or altered eruption of permanent tooth. This case series is an attempt to showcase the deleterious effect of supernumerary teeth and their varied clinical presentation along with their plan of management. |
