Palatal embedded supernumerary teeth: A case report

Abstract

Supernumerary teeth are developmental anomaly teeth that additional to the normal series. These teeth may be found in primary or permanent dentitions. The occurrence may be single or multiple, unilateral or bilateral and erupted or impacted. They are classified according to morphology and location. The etiology remains unclear. This report presented a surgical removal of embedded supernumerary teeth which incidentally found in panoramic radiograph before orthodontic treatment. The oral examination was not found any abnormality and the radiographic examination found two supernumerary teeth embedded at the palate. The treatment plan was surgical removal. The surgical wound was slight swelling at a one-week follow-up visit and healed without any infection at a one-month follow-up visit.
