Two Cases of Supernumerary Teeth

Abstract

There are many case reports of supernumerary teeth, but rarely in the primary dentition. We found two cases of genuine supernumerary teeth in the Upper primary incisal region.
There were no special problems about family history, case history and present condition in the two cases.
Dental formula of Case I
_??_
The patient is A 4 year 1mnth girl. We consider the Upper left primary canine teeth (C) to be supernumerary teeth.
Dental formula of Case II
_??_
The patient is A 5 year 1month girl. We consider the Upper left primary lateral incisal teeth (B') to be supernumerary teeth.
From the position, form, X-ray examination etc, we decided these were genuine supernumerary teeth.
As dental problems, the necessity of oral prophylaxis and denture guideanc about the site of supernumerary teeth was suggested.
