Supernumerary Molars: A Rare Finding
Journal Title: Journal of Advances in Medicine and Medical Research - Year 2016, Vol 12, Issue 6
Abstract
Panoramic radiographs of a female patients aged twenty one years without any associated syndromic or systemic medical history, revealed the presence of the two supernumerary molars, right upper and left lower fourth molars. Both the teeth were disto-molars. The right upper fourth molar had normal tooth morphology with regard to its crown and root but was slightly smaller than the existing third molars. The left lower disto-molar had somewhat different morphology as compared to adjacent third molar and smaller in size as compared to the fourth right upper disto-molar. Their crowns were tuberculated and both had single root (2D radiographic morphology).
