Abstract

The presence of multiple supernumerary teeth is not frequent, especially if it is not associated with cleidocranial dysplasia, cleft lip palate or syndromes, such as Gardner syndrome. An apparently healthy 22-year old female patient was referred for surgical extractions of impacted teeth. The panoramic radiographs disclosed impactions of maxillary and mandibular third molars with supernumerary teeth from both sides of maxilla. On the left side there was an unerupted distomolar at the end of the alveolar arch, while on the right side a well-circumscribed radiolucent formation suspicious to be a dentigerous cyst, was located between two supernumerary teeth, surrounding the crown of a third molar. However, after surgical extractions of the teeth and histopathological
evaluation of the sample, the diagnosis of hyperplastic dental follicle was made. The purpose of this report is to present a case of non-syndrome associated multiple supernumerary teeth, their potential involvement in pathological changes of soft tissue of dental follicle, and consequences of their presence for adjacent teeth.
