Late forming supernumerary tooth in the premaxilla: a case report.
A case of late forming supernumerary tooth in the premaxilla is presented in this report. The patient has been followed-up radiographically from the age of 9 years but the supernumerary tooth could only be detected radiographically when the patient was 11 years old. This emphasises the importance of thorough clinical and radiographic examination of the developing dentition in children.
