Abstract
Background
Three or more supernumerary teeth in a patient without a systemic disease is rarely encountered.
Case presentation
A Japanese boy aged 9 years 1 month was referred for a malformed tooth in the maxillary central region. Panoramic radiography and cone-beam computed tomography revealed four supernumerary teeth inhibiting eruption of the maxillary bilateral central incisors. Extraction of the supernumerary teeth and use of a fenestration technique led to successful eruption of both incisors.
Conclusion
A supernumerary tooth can strongly affect permanent dentition, thus early detection and appropriate management are important.
