A rare case of a supernumerary tooth in the upper canine region is presented. This extra tooth had a molar-like crown, indicating a molariform supernumerary tooth.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Developmental Biology

Background:

  • Supernumerary teeth, or hyperdontia, are congenital anomalies characterized by the presence of extra teeth.
  • These anomalies can occur in any region of the dental arch but are most common in the permanent dentition.
  • Their etiology is multifactorial, involving genetic and environmental factors.

Observation:

  • A unique case of a single supernumerary tooth was identified in the maxillary canine region.
  • The tooth presented with an unusual crown morphology.
  • Radiographic and clinical examination confirmed its presence and characteristics.

Findings:

  • The supernumerary tooth exhibited a distinct molariform crown shape.
  • This morphology suggests a developmental deviation, classifying it as a molariform supernumerary tooth.

  • Its location in the canine region is atypical for this specific presentation.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the variability in supernumerary tooth presentation and morphology.
    • Understanding such anomalies is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in pediatric dentistry and orthodontics.
    • Further research into the developmental pathways of molariform supernumerary teeth may offer insights into dental anomalies.
