Multiple Bilateral Unerupted Supplemental Premolars: An Unusual Presentation in a Nonsyndromic Patient

Supernumerary teeth are one of the routinely encountered developmental disturbances representing one or more extra teeth in the jaws. These may resemble the teeth of the group to which it belongs, i.e., molars, premolars, or incisors, or it may bear little or no resemblance. Based on the morphologic appearance, it is classified as supplemental teeth or rudimentary teeth. The supplemental teeth are those that resemble the teeth to which it is associated and rudimentary teeth are those that do not resemble the teeth. Supplemental teeth, most of the times, are associated with syndromes and they can also be present in the absence of systemic pathology. Literature reveals predilection of the presence of supplemental premolars of 2:1 in males. This is the case report of a 14-year-old male who presented with multiple unerupted bilateral supplemental premolars on both the arches.
