Sarkaria AS, Ogadako R. Presence of multiple supernumerary premolars, distomolars, and anterior maxillary teeth in a non-syndromic dizygotic twin: A case report. Int J Case Rep Images 2024;15(1):17–21.ABSTRACT
Introduction: While supernumerary teeth are occasionally encountered by the dentist and multidisciplinary team, it is relatively rare for multiple supernumeraries to be found in a non-syndromic patient.
Case Report: This report describes a case in which a dizygotic twin with a history of anterior maxillary supernumeraries presents with asymptomatic late developing bilateral mandibular premolar supernumeraries and distomolars. The premolar supernumeraries were surgically removed, while the distomolars managed conservatively.
Conclusion: The importance of periodic follow-up for patients with a history of supernumeraries is highlighted alongside the significance of high quality referrals.
Keywords: Dizygotic twin, Multiple supernumeraries, Non-syndromic
