Mesiodens supernumerary tooth in inverted transverse position. A case report
Main Article Content
Abstract
Supernumerary teeth appear as teeth or structures similar and additional to the normal series of 20 primary and 32 permanent teeth. Their etiology is mostly idiopathic although it is also associated with two syndromes: cleidocranial dysplasia and familial adenomatous polyposis. There seems to be evidence suggesting a family tendency to produce extra teeth.
