The majority of previous studies that have looked at the management of delayed eruption secondary to a supernumerary tooth advocate exposure of the unerupted tooth at the time of supernumerary removal. However, accepted UK orthodontic practice is to extract the supernumerary and provide sufficient space for the unerupted tooth to erupt spontaneously. The aim of this retrospective study was to evaluate the management and outcome for 96 patients who had been referred to Newcastle Dental Hospital between 1976 and 1988 who between them had 120 teeth with delayed eruption secondary to a supemumerary tooth.

General Appearance

Fifty consecutive cases presenting with unerupted maxillary incisors at orthodontic clinics were recorded and progress of the unerupted tooth followed up over a 4-year period following the exposure of the unerupted tooth (including removal of supernumerary tooth, etc., if present). The occlusal level, rotation, tilting, and general appearance were assessed at the conclusion of the investigation and the results are presented in this report. The earlier the removal of the causative factor preventing eruption of the incisor the better is the prognosis, and it is suggested that all teeth that have not erupted 6 months after the normal eruption date should be subject to radiological examination to ascertain any possible cause for the delayed eruption.

Delayed Eruption

Supernumerary teeth can develop in any location of the mandible or maxilla and may have a significant impact on the developing dentition. This paper reviews the prevalence, aetiology and classification of supernumerary teeth. It also describes their clinical characteristics and management options. A case report involving the interdisciplinary management of delayed eruption of central incisors due to the presence of a supernumerary tooth is outlined. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Timely diagnosis and appropriate management may reduce the potential problems associated with supernumerary teeth. General dental practitioners should be aware of the clinical characteristics and management options related to supernumerary teeth.

Background: Supernumerary teeth are one of the most common anomalies in the human dentition, found most frequently in the maxillary anterior region causing impaction or displacement of the adjacent permanent teeth. Aim :The purpose of this retrospective study was to determine the prevalence and characteristics of supernumerary teeth in orthodontically treated patients. Study design: Pre-treatment facial and intraoral photographs, study models, panoramic and periapical radiographs of 3,000 consecutively treated orthodontic patients (mean age 12.2 years) from the Department of Orthodontics Tel Aviv University, were examined to detect supernumerary teeth in both arches. They were recorded according to gender, age, number, location, position and morphology. Results: Thirty-six patients, 22 (61%) males and 14 (39%) females with 50 supernumerary teeth, of which 42 (84%) were found in the maxillary anterior region, and 8 (16%) in the mandible, presenting a prevalence of 1.2%. Conclusions: A prevalence of 1.2% was found in our study. The most common supernumerary tooth is mesiodens located at the maxillary anterior region. The characteristics of supernumeraries were based on their morphology, location and position. The most frequent complications caused were rotations, displacement and arrested eruption of maxillary incisors.

Delayed Eruption

Mesiodens is the most common supernumerary tooth and is present in the midline between the two central incisors. It occurs mostly due to hyperactivity of the dental lamina. They are usually small, with a cone shaped crown and a short root, may be single or paired, erupted or impacted and occasionally even be inverted. Presence of more than one mesiodens is termed as mesiodentes. Presence of mesiodens may cause impaction or delayed eruption of permanent teeth, malocclusion leading to disturbance in chewing, swallowing and speech, root resorption of the adjacent teeth, impaired dentofacial aesthetics, and sometimes cyst formation. The erupted mesiodens can be easily diagnosed clinically, and the unerupted ones are best diagnosed by clinical and radiological evaluation. Although mesiodens is the most common supernumerary teeth, presence of double mesiodens is uncommon. In this paper we describe a case of palatally erupted double mesiodens and its management in a 20year old girl.

Supernumerary teeth are developmental disorders that can appear in any maxillary región. Whilst their etiology is not well-known, it has been postulated that they are the result of a "doubling" of the dental lamina. Mesiodens can cause several complications, such as the crowding, delayed eruption or displacement of dental organs. Diagnosis is carried out clinically and radiographically. For clinical management is reported in a male patient of 5 years with a mesiodens in the maxilla, who was treated at Hospital Dos de Mayo, odontopediatry service. Intraoral examination revealed a molariform supernumerary tooth eruption, and x-ray analysis showed the presence of an dental organ in the midline. Due to the observed displacement of permanent teeth, it was decided that the supernumerary would be removed in the conventional manner.

Los mesiodens pueden causar varias complicaciones como apiñamiento, retraso en la erupción o desplazamiento de los órganos dentarios. El diagnóstico se realiza de manera clínica y radiográfica. Se reporta el caso de manejo clínico en un paciente masculino de 5 años de edad con un mesiodens en el maxilar superior, que acudió al Hospital Dos de Mayo, servicio de odontopediatria. A la exploración intraoral se observó un diente supernumerario molariforme semi erupcionado, y el análisis de radiografía mostró la presencia de un órgano dentario en la línea media. Debido al desplazamiento observado de los órganos dentarios permanentes, se decidió realizar la extracción del supernumerario de manera convencional. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Aims. Delayed eruption of teeth may be caused by the presence of one or more supernumerary teeth. The purpose of this study was to evaluate findings, predisposing factors and differentiate different techniques used that affect the outcome following removal of supernumerary teeth. A comprehensive literature review was also undertaken. Methods.A longitudinal retrospective study was carried out at the Royal Liverpool Children's Hospital. A total of 120 patients were identified from the general anesthesia records that had supernumeraries extracted. Only 43 cases had delayed eruption of teeth caused by supernumeraries. The pre and post extraction record data collected were the gender, radiographic assessment, position of the supernumerary, age at time of referral and extraction of the supernumerary, age at time of eruption of the impacted tooth and the orthodontic and surgical management. Results. The mean age of referral was 9.1 years with a male to female ratio of 4.4:1. There was a greater predilection for supernumeraries to be on the left side and be positioned palatally.Tuberculate type supernumeraries were the most frequent followed by the conical type. Spontaneous eruption of the impacted tooth occurred in 49% of cases. Eruption of the impacted tooth within eighteen months following removal of the supernumerary was observed in 91% of cases. The chronological age and space availability were the two factors that were critical in determining if eruption was spontaneous following removal of the supernumerary. Conclusions. The findings of this study reiterates the fact that given early referral, sufficient space and time, the majority of teeth prevented from erupting by a supernumerary tooth would erupt spontaneously following removal of the supernumerary alone. Randomized multi-centre prospective studies are suggested.

Mesiodens is a midline supernumerary tooth commonly seen in the maxillary arch, and incidence of molariform mesiodens in the maxillary midline is rare in permanent dentition and extremely uncommon in primary dentition. A midline supernumerary tooth in the primary dentition can cause ectopic or delayed eruption of permanent central incisors which will further alter occlusion and may compromise esthetics and formation of dentigerous cysts. This paper reports a rare case of the presence of a molariform mesiodens in the primary dentition. On clinical and radiographic examination, flaring of the primary central incisors was seen, with a molariform mesiodens consisting of multiple lobes or tubercles on the occlusal surface with the well-formed root. The treatment plan consisted of the extraction of the supernumerary tooth and regular observation of permanent central incisors for proper eruption and alignment.
