A case of eight supernumerary impacted teeth

Supernumerary teeth (ST) are common clinical dental anomalies characterized by the presence of excessive teeth. It can cause diverse complications in the developing jaw and dentition, which could prevent the acquisition of normal oral functions. The presence of multiple ST is rare and commonly associated with genetic syndromes or developmental anomalies. In such cases, the related clinical problems should be considered along with the treatment of multiple ST. Then, it is important to pay attention to the craniofacial, skeletal, and other physical findings. Herein, we report a rare case of eight ST in a patient without any associated syndromes. Early diagnosis and successive radiographic evaluations are critical for preventing the complications caused by ST.
