Abstract :
Dental anomalies are rare findings that may
affect development of occlusion and early
intervention may be required. Here, a case of
multiple anomalies in primary and permanent
dentitions is reported.
The patient referred to the dental center with
the chief complaint of multiple tooth decay. In
the oral examination, the rare case of
triplication between the right geminated mandibular
A and right mandibular B was observed.
A talon cusp on the maxillary deciduous lateral
incisor was also noticed. In the panoramic radiograph
view, two permanent supernumerary
teeth were found at the region of primary tooth
anomalies in both jaws. The article describes
the management of the dentition during the
dental transitory years of 5 to 7. Precise examination
may reveal anomalies that require intervention.
In some cases, presence of one
anomaly in primary dentition, can suggest the
possibility of further anomalies in both primary
and permanent dentition. In this case, careful
initial examination and dental panoramic radiographs
led to early diagnosis and appropriate
treatment plans in mixed dentition years.
