Abstract

Occurrence of the supernumerary teeth is a very rare phenomenon and it is usually associated with conditions as cleft lip and palate or some syndromes like Gardner’s syndrome, Cleidocranial dysplasia. In the literature reviewing some isolated cases of the multiple supernumerary teeth were described. This report presents a case of the isolated occurrence of multiple supernumerary teeth located in both jaws, in a female patient and her brother. Clinical manifestations, changes and effects which were caused by the supernumerary teeth, and eventually the treatment plan, were discussed and compared to the similar findings of the other authors.
