Background:

Supernumerary teeth are a common dental anomaly.
Understanding their classification, etiology, and prevalence is crucial for diagnosis and management.
This paper aims to consolidate current knowledge on supernumerary teeth.

Observation:

A case of multiple supernumerary teeth in a healthy pediatric patient was presented.
The case highlights the importance of early detection and intervention in pediatric dental anomalies.
Detailed clinical and radiographic findings of the presented case.

Findings:

Supernumerary teeth are classified based on morphology and location.
Etiology involves genetic and environmental factors.
Prevalence varies across different populations and dental types.

Implications:

Accurate classification and understanding of etiology aid in predicting sequelae.
Timely treatment of supernumerary teeth prevents complications like impaction and malocclusion.
This review provides a comprehensive resource for clinicians managing supernumerary teeth.
