Case report presents impacted supernumerary teeth in a pediatric patient, underscoring the need for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Supernumerary teeth are additional teeth that develop beyond the normal dentition and can appear in various forms and locations. While often asymptomatic, impacted supernumerary teeth may interfere with the eruption of permanent teeth or displace adjacent structures. This case report presents a rare occurrence of bilateral, morphologically dissimilar, impacted supernumerary teeth in a non-syndromic pediatric patient. Following comprehensive clinical and radiographic evaluations, a definitive diagnosis was made. Surgical removal of the impacted teeth was performed under general anesthesia, followed by scheduled follow-up visits to evaluate treatment outcomes, monitor the case progress, and ensure proper eruption of the permanent teeth. This case underscores the importance of early diagnosis, individualized treatment planning, and regular follow-up. Although based on a single case, the favorable outcome supports the potential benefits of timely intervention in similar clinical scenarios.
