Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 12

Abstract

Abstract: Supernumerary teeth are those teeth which are surplus to normal set of teeth in both primary and permanent dentition[1]. One of the less commonly seen supernumerary teeth in contrast to mesiodens and distomolars is parapremolars. Its appearance is same as premolars and occurs frequently in mandibular premolar region. Generally, most of the parapremolars are asymptomatic and they stay impacted which poses a possible risk of root resorption to overlying teeth. The aim of this paper is to describe the procedure, complications, and management of parapremolars in orthodontic perspective and to discuss two case reports.
