A rare case of extra maxillary deciduous canines was found in a ten-year-old boy. This study discusses the prevalence of these supplemental teeth, which are uncommon in primary dentition.

Area of Science:

Dentistry
Human Genetics
Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

Supplemental teeth, or supernumerary teeth, are defined as teeth developing in addition to the usual number.
They most commonly affect the permanent dentition, particularly the maxillary lateral incisors.

Observation:

This report details a unique case of supplemental maxillary deciduous canines in a ten-year-old Saudi male.
The presence of supernumerary teeth in the deciduous (primary) dentition is significantly rarer than in the permanent dentition.

Findings:

The case highlights the occurrence of supplemental teeth in the primary dentition, specifically canines.
While typically affecting permanent incisors, this case broadens the understanding of supernumerary tooth presentation.

Implications:

This case contributes to the literature on dental anomalies and their prevalence in different populations.
Understanding the variations in deciduous dentition is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning in pediatric dentistry.
