Supernumerary teeth are teeth in excess of the numberfound in the normal series.1 The prevalence of supernu-merary teeth in the permanent dentition of the white population is about 2 % to 3%, and about 90 % of all super-numerary teeth occur in the premaxilla.2–5 Supernumerary premolars have been rep...
