Multiple supernumerary teeth are very rare, accounting for less than 1% of cases. They are commonly associated with syndromes like Gardner's syndrome and cleidocranial dysostosis and cleft lip and palate. Non-syndromic multiple supernumerary teeth have a predilection to occur in the mandibular premolar region. Orthokeratinized odontogenic cyst (OOC) is a relatively uncommon developmental cyst comprising about 10% of the cases that had been previously implied as odontogenic keratocysts. More than half of the cases of OOC are associated with impacted tooth; but not a single case of OOC associated with supernumerary teeth is reported. Hence, the purpose of this article is to report the first case of multiple supernumerary mandibular premolars associated with OOC in a 35-year-old male and to review the literature associated with multiple bilateral supernumerary mandibular premolars.

Background Anatomical variations in the mandibular first molars can significantly impact endodontic outcomes. The presence of additional roots, such as the distolingual radix entomolaris (RE) and the mesiobuccal radix paramolaris (RP), complicates endodontic procedures. Traditional radiographs often fail to detect these variations due to their inherent limitations.

Article Synopsis
- * After analyzing over 10,000 panoramic radiographs, researchers found a CMPC prevalence of 0.69%, with a notable difference between age groups: younger patients (under 10 years) had lower prevalence compared to older patients (ages 10 and above).
- * Most missing canines were found in the upper jaw, with a significant majority of patients having visible primary canines; additional anomalies like other missing teeth and microdontia were also noted among affected individuals.

Ectopic teeth arise from developmental abnormalities and can be supernumerary, deciduous, or permanent teeth. They can cause orofacial pain, swelling, and infection. There is a major paucity in literature about ectopic mandibular third molar (EMTM) and its causes, symptoms, and treatment.

A supernumerary tooth is a dental abnormality, which, in some cases, causes disturbance in the eruption of permanent teeth. A seven-year-and-four-month-old female was diagnosed with eruption disturbance in mandibular canine eruption caused by a supernumerary tooth. At the age of eight years and six months, the supernumerary tooth was extracted and space maintenance by a lingual arch was started.

Objectives: This study sought to elucidate the diagnostic performance of 0.55 T magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for pediatric dental imaging, specifically in terms of the image quality (IQ) for detecting ectopic and/or supernumerary teeth, compared with routine ultra-low-dose computed tomography (ULD-CT) of the jaw.
Materials And Methods: A total of 16 pediatric patients (mean age: 12.
