Five impacted supernumerary teeth in the bilateral maxillary third-molar regions: A case report

Supernumerary teeth are commonly observed in the anterior region of the maxilla; however, reports of their occurrence in the molar region, particularly near the third molars, are rare. A 21-year-old man with no genetic disease visited our department for a third-molar extraction. Panoramic radiography and computed tomography revealed one and four supernumerary teeth in the right and left maxillary third-molar regions, respectively. The bilateral third molars and supernumerary teeth were extracted under general anesthesia. The supernumerary teeth were incompletely developed, and one tooth morphologically resembled a premolar. The patient’s postoperative course was uneventful.
