Fusion of maxillary third and supernumerary fourth molars. Case report.

Fusion of teeth is most commonly reported in the deciduous dentition, particularly in the anterior teeth. Recently, additional cases of fusion have also been reported in the mandibular molars of the permanent dentition, and are not considered uncommon. However, reports of the involvement of maxillary molars appear to be particularly rare in the literature. This case is another example of the quite rare phenomenon of fusion of maxillary third and supernumerary fourth molars.

A case of supernumerary teeth in the premaxilla, maxillary cuspid, and mandibular premolar regions.

A case of several developing supernumerary teeth is reported. A seven-year-old African-American boy presented with retained primary maxillary central incisors, two impacted mesiodens, and unerupted permanent maxillary central incisors. A dentigerous cyst was removed at the time of surgical removal of the mesiodens. Approximately fourteen months post-extraction, a new panoramic radiograph showed the presence of six previously unidentified developing and unerupted supernumerary teeth, one on each of the maxillary cuspid areas and two on the mandibular premolar regions bilaterally. Practitioners should be aware that supernumerary teeth may develop late. Thus, periodic reevaluation with appropriate radiographs is indicated, especially in patients who have presented with supernumerary teeth.

A survey on supernumerary molars.

The contemporary literature concerning the etiology, frequency, and classification of supernumerary teeth, specifically molars, is reviewed in this article. Also, methods for their early detection, as well as the prognosis and treatment of supernumerary molars, are discussed. Eight cases at the University of Athens and 105 others obtained from the literature were subjected to statistical analysis to examine sexual dimorphism and the position, impactions, and bilateral presence of supernumerary molars. Super-numerary molars occurred more frequently in the maxilla (79.7%), often were impacted (88.7%), and were found bilaterally 23.9% of the time. No great difference was found between the sexes in the frequency of supernumerary molars.

The oral surgery/orthodontic interface: 2. Local causes of malocclusion.

This is the second of two articles discussing the minor oral surgery/orthodontic interface. The vital role played by the general dental practitioner in monitoring the normal development of the occlusion and the early diagnosis of the local causes of malocclusion was emphasized in the first article. Part 2 discusses the problems associated with the prominent labial frenum, supernumerary teeth and submerged deciduous molars.
