The aim of this case report is to present a case of a non-syndrome male patient with multiple supplemental supernumerary teeth in three quadrants of his mouth. Background: Supernumerary teeth are described as the teeth formed in excess of the number found in a normal dentition. Prevalence of supernumerary teeth varies between 0.1% and 3.8% in the general population. Multiple supernumerary teeth are not a common occurrence, although a single or a few supernumerary tooth/teeth in each case have been widely reported in the literature.
A 17-year-old male came for a routine check up. On intra-oral examination showed the presence of multiple supernumerary teeth, which were located in the mandibular right and left premolar regions and maxillary right premoloar region. The family’s medical history was noncontributory, and an extra oral examination did not reveal any abnormality.
It is rare to find multiple supernumerary teeth in individuals with no other associated diseases or syndromes. This case report presents a case of a nonsyndrome male patient with multiple supplemental supernumerary teeth in three quadrants of his mouth.
