Abstract
A case of multiple supernumerary teeth impacted in the jaw is presented. The patient, an 11-year-old girl, with a main complaint of anterior cross overbite was referred from the orthodontic department of our hospital for detailed examination of impacted teeth. An orthopanthomograph revealed eight supernumerary teeth impacted in the maxilla and mandible, two each were symmetrically located in the right and left premolar regions. These supernumerary teeth inhibited growth of permanent teeth. The patient was also suspected of congenital diseases such as cleido-cranial dysostosis which were subsequently denied by further detailed examination.
Eight supernumerary teeth were extracted, followed by the morphological analysis, and review of literature on this syndrome was also made.
