Supernumerary teeth (hyperdontia) are additional teeth that are in addition to the normal number of either ~~decidious~~primary or permanent teeth.

The term supplemental tooth may be used when the supernumerary tooth resembles its associated normal tooth and the term peridens may be used for an ectopically erupted (e.g. buccal or lingually) supernumerary tooth ³.Mesiodens refers to a supernumerary tooth in the midline between the central incisors ⁴.

Epidemiology

Supernumerary teeth occur in ~2.5% (range 0.1-5.3%) of the population with a 2:1 M:F in adults with permanent teeth ^{1, 3}.

Pathology

The aetiology of supernumerary teeth is unknown ³. They may arise anywhere in the mandible or maxilla and may be:

unilateral or bilateral
single or multiple
erupted or unerupted

Associations
