Supernumerary teeth and syndromes associated

Hyperdontia, commonly referred to as supernumerary teeth, is a well-known dental anomaly in humans. It is defined as the presence of extra teeth exceeding the normal count in either primary or permanent dentition. The occurrence has been documented to range from 0.2 to 3%, with a higher frequency observed in males compared to females. The etiology of this condition is heterogeneous and highly variable, and a majority of cases are idiopathic in nature. However, the presence of multiple impacted or erupted supernumerary teeth is rare and often associated with specific genetic syndromes. Early detection of abnormalities allows us to implement appropriate patient management strategies and plays a vital role in making well-informed decisions concerning long-term medical care and treatments.
