Abstract :
Background and objective: Supernumerary teeth are known as the teeth in
excess of the normal dentition. Multiple supernumerary teeth are usually
observed as having syndromes. Conversely, multiple supernumerary teeth
without any associated systemic conditions or syndromes are not common.
Case presentation: This article documents an unusual case report, a male
patient with non-syndromic 10 supernumerary teeth in both jaws, an incidental
finding during routine radiographic examination. Conclusion: CBCT is the best diagnostic imaging method currently available
for determining the relationships of teeth and the surrounding structures in
cases with multiple impacted teeth or severe overlapping of impacted teeth.
