A Rare Case of Bilateral Maxillary Supplemental Lateral Incisors

双侧上颌侧切牙罕见病例

阅读:1

Abstract

Supplemental teeth are uncommon and often go undetected during routine dental examinations, especially when they resemble normal teeth in shape and size. In this case, a 17-year-old male presented with a rare finding: bilateral supplemental maxillary lateral incisors. Although he reported no discomfort, the presence of these extra teeth had the potential to affect his bite. On examination, the additional lateral incisors looked almost identical to the natural ones and showed complete root development on radiographs. After a thorough evaluation, the treatment plan involved extracting the supplemental teeth and initiating fixed orthodontic therapy to manage spacing and tooth alignment. This case highlights the need for careful diagnosis and personalized treatment planning, even when anomalies appear harmless or go unnoticed.
