Four supernumerary molars in one maxillary quadrant: A case report

Abstract

Multiple supernumerary molars are an uncommon occurrence. In this case report, six molars were observed unilaterally in the maxilla of a 7-year-old patient. An erupted supernumerary molar was found palatal to the permanent upper right first molar. On computed tomogram examination, four unerupted molars were clearly identified distal to the permanent upper right first molar. This dental anomaly is rarely encountered and this may be the first case in which four supernumerary molars were observed in a quadrant with no identifiable pathology.
