Bilateral symmetrical hyperdontia--a case report.
Supernumerary teeth is a term that describes the presence of additional teeth beyond the normal complement. Supernumerary teeth have been reported in both the primary and permanent dentition, although they are more prevalent in the permanent dentition. Bilateral symmetrical impacted fourth molars are exceedingly uncommon, especially in combination with other supernumerary teeth. This article describes an unusual case of hyperdontia and highlights the importance of correct diagnosis and treatment.
