Abstract

  The presence of supernumerary teeth is frequently identified as an incidental radiographic finding: the majority are reported to remain unerupted and asymptomatic, even though they may be either erupted or impacted. Supernumerary teeth in the premolar region, unlike other types of supernumeraries, are more frequently found in the mandible, where they are typically of the supplemental type. Occasionally, they may present as conical in shape or smaller than normal. These teeth may occur as single or multiple anomalies. The prevalence of supernumerary premolars has been estimated to range from 0.01% to 1%, depending on the population studied. The aim of the present article is to describe a surgical technique to remove impacted supernumerary teeth in the premolar region with maximal precision and preservation of the adjacent anatomical structures.
