Beste Kamiloglu

Abstract :

A supernumerary tooth is one that exceeds the normal dental formula and can occur in single or multiple form. İt can be found in almost any region of both jaws; erupted or impacted and may be encountered as a chance finding, on a radiograph or erupt spontaneously. Prevalance of supernumerary teeth is 2:1 among men to women. The etiology is not completely known but besides environmental factors familial trait and heredity play an important role at the occurrence of this numerical anomaly. One or two extra teeth are common but multiple supernumerary teeth is a rare disorder. Supernumerary teeth may be present with several syndromes but are mostly associated with Cleidocranial Dysplasia, Gardner Syndrome and cleft lip and palate. This article points out the genetic origin of non-syndromic multiple supernumerary teeth among close relatives.
