Abstract:

Supernumerary teeth, also termed as extra teeth, are excessive teeth and a common hypoplasia of teeth with a predisposition for the anterior maxilla. Extra teeth are frequently found in male and can be classified into conical, tuberculate, supplemental, and odontoma according to their morphology. Dental lamina hyperactivity theory is widely accepted, but the etiology of supernumerary teeth remains hypothetical. Supernumerary teeth can cause a series of complications and may be associated with many developmental syndromes. Patients often consult doctor after they get complications. Thus, early diagnosis and effective treatment are important. This article reviews the etiology, clinical feature, complications, and theranostics of supernumerary teeth.

Key words: supernumerary teeth, etiology, clinical feature, diagnosis, treatment
