Supernumerary teeth in permanent dentition are influenced by hereditary and environmental, having clinical variations such as location, number and morphology. Parapremolars can be found as a single supernumerary tooth or as multiple, usually in the lower jaw, sometimes in association with other types of supernumerary teeth. Familial inheritance often involves more than one generation. This paper presents a case of two brothers, one with only one parapremolar and a good oral status and hygiene, the other with poor hygiene, multiple parapremolars and one mesiodens, causing various complications. The aim of this paper is to show the presence of parapremolars in brothers with no other medical relevant history, located in the same site, and to point the influence of genetic factors in the etiology of supernumerary teeth. Along with a review of the literature, this article shows the importance of an early diagnosis and follow-up using successive panoramic radiographs of such cases, in order to limit or prevent the inflammatory, carious, periodontal and occlusal complications that can seriously affect both the jaws and the normal dentition.

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.

Introduction: Cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) is a genetic disorder characterized by distinctive oral manifestations, making dental anomalies a key diagnostic criterion and treatment focus.
Methods: We retrospectively enrolled 32 patients diagnosed with CCD with detailed dental records (19 males and 13 females; mean age, 20.5 years).

Cleidocranial Dysplasia (CCD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by skeletal abnormalities and dental anomalies, primarily caused by variants in the RUNX2 gene. Understanding the spectrum of RUNX2 variants and their effects on CCD phenotypes is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management strategies. This systematic review aimed to comprehensively analyze the genotypic and phenotypic spectra of RUNX2 variants in CCD patients, assess their distribution across functional regions, and investigate genotype-phenotype correlations.
