Article Main Content

The presence of supernumerary teeth is one of the most common factors that can alter the normal eruption pattern. We present here a rare phenomenon of four, molariform mesiodentes in a systemically healthy, non-syndromic patient, with non-contributory family history, causing delayed eruption of permanent, upper, central incisors. Multiple supernumerary teeth can be an important component of distinctive disorders and a valuable clue for their early diagnosis. However, this case highlights the importance of non-hereditary factors in the pathogenesis of multiple supernumerary teeth in a non-syndromic patient.
