Supernumerary impactions of the mandibular cuspids and bicuspids. Case report.
A case involving the presence of supernumerary cuspids and bicuspids is described. The condition was probably an inherited one because of the family history and the bilateral incidence. The supernumerary teeth erupted because of alveolar resorption in which inflammatory factors probably played a role. Radiographic follow-up of the site of supernumerary impacted teeth and alveolar resorption should be undertaken.
