Is it a primary tooth or a supernumerary tooth? : A report of an unusual case
Journal Title: International Journal of Applied Dental Sciences - Year 2016, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
Ectopic eruption or abnormal position of the successor permanent tooth is one of the reasons of delayed or stopped root resorption of a primary tooth, which causes a long presence of the primary tooth in the oral cavity. The aim of this report was to present the situation of an unusual case that had a primary tooth which had not been exfoliated and had a vision like a supernumerary tooth. CBCT images were obtained according to the initial findings which addressed a supernumerary tooth. However, after the examinations on CBCT images, it was well understood that the unusual structure was a partially resorbed primary first molar tooth, and the extraction was completed. The right choice for the imaging technique plays a crucial role in having the definitive diagnosis and deciding on the optimal treatment plan in unusual and complicated situations such as the one in the present case.
