An unerupted supernumerary tooth in the maxilla was observed to be resorbing. Intra-oral occlusal radiography clearly identified the tooth, which was missed by extra-oral imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral Radiology
  • Maxillofacial Imaging

Background:

  • Supernumerary teeth are a common dental anomaly.
  • Their diagnosis can be challenging, especially when unerupted.
  • Radiographic imaging is crucial for detection.

Observation:

  • A case of an unerupted maxillary supernumerary tooth is presented.
  • The tooth appeared to be undergoing internal resorption.
  • Extra-oral radiographs failed to detect the anomaly.

Findings:

  • Intra-oral occlusal radiography provided clear visualization of the unerupted, resorbing supernumerary tooth.
  • This highlights the diagnostic value of specific radiographic techniques.

Implications:

  • Occlusal radiography is essential for diagnosing certain unerupted dental anomalies.
  • This case emphasizes the limitations of extra-oral radiography in specific scenarios.
  • Accurate diagnosis aids in appropriate treatment planning for supernumerary teeth.
