AI Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to examine how supernumerary teeth impact the treatment outcomes of permanent teeth after their extraction in young patients.
- Out of 200 children studied, 303 supernumerary teeth were extracted, with the majority causing impaction (61%) in permanent teeth, particularly benefiting from combined orthodontic treatments.
- Successful outcomes were highest when surgery was paired with orthodontics, with no negative effects observed on nearby primary teeth during extractions.
Article Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the treatment of permanent teeth impacted by supernumerary teeth and their outcome following extraction.
Methods: The study population comprised 200 2- to 14-year-olds.
Results: A total of 303 supernumerary teeth were removed from the 200 patients. Surgery was performed on: 129 teeth (~43%) from the vestibular and palatine/lingual (mixed) side; 110 teeth (~36%) from the palatine/lingual side; and 64 teeth (~21%) from the vestibular side. Regarding the shape of the supernumerary teeth, the distribution was: 118 conoid teeth; 92 supplementary teeth; 66 tuberculate teeth; and 27 teeth of varied shapes. In approximately 61% of the permanent teeth (159 teeth), the supernumerary teeth caused impaction of the former, while no case of impaction was recorded in the case of the primary dentition. The impacted permanent teeth evolved favorably in 100% of the orthodontic tractions, in 80% of the relocations, and in approximately 65% of the conductive alveolectomies.
Conclusions: The highest percentage success rate in treating permanent teeth impacted by supernumerary teeth corresponded to those cases in which surgery could be combined with orthodontic treatment. There were no displacements of neighboring buds during removal of the supernumerary teeth in the primary dentition.

Objective: To evaluate the frequency of tooth anomalies (TA) in the deciduous and permanent dentition of patients with nonsyndromic orofacial clefts (NSOC), both inside and outside the cleft area.
Methods: The following databases were searched for the relevant literature: Cochrane, OVID, SciELO, Embase, Livivo, PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science. The risk of bias was analyzed using the Joanna Briggs Institute.

Teeth, either erupted or impacted, that exceed the normal count are known as supernumerary teeth. They can appear unilaterally or bilaterally, singly or in multiples, and may be located anywhere in both dental arches. Multiple permanent impacted supernumerary teeth are uncommon and are often associated to syndromes but can be idiopathic.

Background: Morphological and structural abnormalities are common dental anomalies. Identifying DA and determining their prevalence can play an important role in reducing the risk of surgical intervention and improving occlusion, leading to successful dental treatments. Thus, this study aimed to determine the prevalence of DA using panoramic radiographs (OPG) in Makkah, Saudi Arabia according to gender.

Introduction: Accuracy and user experience of dental diagnosis for a patient with cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) using immersive virtual reality (VR) and cone-beam computed tomography multiplanar reconstruction methods were evaluated.
Methods: Dental students (n = 40) were randomly assigned to VR or MP groups. VR participants manipulated and visualized the rendered 3-dimensional model using VR hardware and software.

Background: Supernumerary teeth, defined as extra teeth beyond the normal series of dentition, can appear anywhere in the dental arch. They may present as solitary or multiple, unilateral or bilateral, and can be either erupted or impacted. Rarely, supernumerary teeth are found in ectopic locations outside the dental arches, such as the nasal cavity, inferior nasal conchae, maxillary sinus, ethmoid sinus, or skull.
