Robert Anthonappa   |  Specialist Paediatric Dentist

Supernumerary teeth: It’s time for extras!

 

Teeth additional to the normal complement of 20 primary and 32 permanent teeth are known as supernumerary teeth. They may be single or multiple, unilateral or bilateral in distribution, and can occur in either arch of the primary and/or permanent dentitions. They can cause a range of complications varying from delayed eruption to dentigerous cyst formation. Most often, recommendations related to their clinical management are based on anecdotal sources. Therefore, this presentation will provide a comprehensive review on extra teeth, their types, prevalence, complications, identification, and management based on available evidence, where appropriate.

 

Dental anomalies: the spectrum and implications on the permanent dentition

 

Most anatomy textbooks would state that humans should have 20 primary and 32 permanent teeth. However, some individuals fail to read the book and hence exhibit deviations which may either be inherited or of sporadic occurrence. This presentation will illustrate the spectrum of dental anomalies of tooth number, size and morphology in both primary and permanent dentitions. Furthermore, the correlations between anomalies in the primary dentition and its potential implications on the permanent dentition will be highlighted.
