title: Multiple supernumeraries in a non-syndromic patient.
abstract: Presence of supernumerary teeth (ST) in non-syndromic patients is an exceptional event. The aim of this article is to present an unusual case of a non-syndromic 12 years old girl with 12 ST In the reported case supernumeraries were found in three quadrants and the most common ST were bicuspids. All ST were surgically excised and occlusion and functionality was restored with prosthetic appliances. ST are an exceedingly uncommon event in the Pediatric Clinic. An extensive review of the literature dealing on non-syndromic cases comprising 10 or more ST and a discussion about the origin of the ST is presented.
