Late developmental supernumerary teeth: A case report

Abstract

Supernumerary teeth are surplus teeth beyond the normal number of teeth which can appear in primary or permanent dentition. Such teeth can cause malocclusion and several other complications. Some may even develop later post eruption of permanent dentition termed as late developmental supernumerary teeth. This article reports a case and elaborates about the effective management of two parapremolars one which is fully developed and the other being a late developmental supernumerary tooth.
