Impacted supernumerary teeth are found in any position of the jaws, sometimes in the vicinity of a impacted permanent tooth. In order to make a diagnosis and design of orthodontic and surgical procedures in the above case, it is necessary to synthesize the whole situation in each case, especially a satisfactory prognosis.
We report all procedures of orthodontic treatment both on the maxillary incisal and mandibular premolar regions. Impacted bilateral incisors were retracted down to the dental arch after extraction of impacted supernumerary teeth positioned superficial to these incisors. Four premolars also were extracted as crowding cases.
Following 1.5 years, a bicuspid-like, supernumerary tooth surprisingly has appeared in each extracted socket of 4_??_4. This case has been still observed carefully as post-treatment, including newly appeared supernumerary teeth.
