ABSTRACT

Supernumerary teeth are those dental structures which are present besides the normal series of deciduous or permanent dentition. Supernumerary teeth can present in various types and in any region of the maxilla or mandible. The precise etiology of supernumerary teeth is uncertain. Sometimes supernumerary teeth may produce complications while most of the times they are diagnosed as incidental radiographic finding.

We have also discussed classification, prevalence, etiology, complications, diagnosis and management of this anomaly.
