It is rare to find multiple supernumerary teeth in individuals with no other associated diseases or syndromes. 'Non-Syndrome multiple supernumerary teeth' reviewed by Yusof(1990) have more frequency of occurrence in the mandibular region. Especially, mandibular premolar region appears to be the site of predilection for no n-syndrome multiple supernumerary teeth. Also, these may develop after most permanent teeth have erupted, thus their effect upon the occlusion is limited. In this case, the patient had 20 supernumerary teeth without other associated diseases or syndromes. All of the supernumerary teeth were impacted, and thirteen of them were found in the premolar region. In the radiographic and clinical finding, other specific complication resulted from the supernumerary teeth weren't observed.

In dentistry, the term 'fusion' is used to describe a developmental disorder of dental hard tissues. In the permanent dentition, fusion of a normal tooth and a supernumerary tooth usually involves the incisors or canines. However, a few cases of fusion involving premolars have also been reported to date. We present a rare case in which fusion of the maxillary left second premolar and a supernumerary tooth in a 13-year-old girl was diagnosed using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT, Alphard-3030, Asahi Roentgen Ind. Co., Ltd.). The tooth was bicuspidized after routine nonsurgical root canal treatment, and the separated teeth underwent appropriate restoration procedures. The second premolar and supernumerary tooth remained asymptomatic without any signs of inflammation after a follow-up period of 9 years. Identification of anatomical anomalies is important for treatment in cases involving fusion with supernumerary tooth, and therefore the microscopic examinations and CBCT are essential for the diagnosis. Fused teeth can be effectively managed by the comprehensive treatment which includes both endodontic and periodontal procedures.

This study was undertaken in order to observe the prevalence of congenital dental anomalies especially that of oligodontia and supernumerary teeth in 1024 children at age from 4 to 14 years, through history taking, oral examinations, roentgenographic observations of subjects, and statistic analysis was made. The following results were obtained: 1. The prevalence of oligodontia in 1024 children was $6.45{\pm}.8$ percent with a total of 122 teeth absent in sixty-six subjects, excluding 3rd molars, and most of children (86.4%) who have congenitally missing teeth showed abscence of one or two teeth individually. 2. The teeth most frequently absent were the mandibular second premolar, maxillary second premolar, maxillary lateral incisor, mandibular central incisor, and mandibular lateral incisor in order. 3. There was no statistically significant difference found in tooth abscence in the following comparisons; .Male vs Female .Bilateral vs Unilateral .Maxilla vs Mandible .Right vs Left 4. The prevalence of supernumerary teeth in 1024 children was $4.79{\pm}.67$ percent with a total of 59 supernumerary teeth in forty-nine subjects, all of children who have supernumerary teeth showed one or two supernumerary teeth individually. 5. Statistically significant difference was found in supernumerary teeth in the comparison of male vs female, and they were more frequent in male.

Supernumerary teeth are defined as an excess in the number of teeth when compared to the normal dental formula. They are more prevalent in the permanent dentition than the primary dentition. Supernumerary teeth can occur in the maxilla, mandible, or both. But the majority are found in the maxilla and most of it is found in the premaxilla region The present cases documents about the uncommon cases of supernumarary teeth on maxillarty premolar area and mandibular incisal area.

The supernumerary premolars account for 4%-9% of all supernumeraries and reported prevalence is 0.01%-1.00%. Multiple supernumerary teeth can be seen in syndromic phenotypes. But, only 2% of supernumerary premolars exhibited any pathological changes. Most of them cause interference with normal occlusal development that makes maintaining the disabled patients's oral hygiene difficult. It is recommended to delay the timing of extraction until the full permanent dentition is mature. If there is no complication, leaving the supernumerary premolars impacted is recommended. This case is about mental retardation patients with multiple supernumerary premolars.

Supernumerary tooth was resulted from excessive proliferation of dental lamina and associated with familial tendency and a congenital syndrome such as Cleidocranial dysostosis or Gardner's syndrome. Incidence reports identify a range of $0.3{\sim}0.8%$ in primary dentition, $1.0{\sim}3.5%$ in permanent dentition with males being affected twice as frequently as females, maxilla nine times as frequently as mandible. The most common supernumerary tooth is the mesiodens, which located between the maxillary central incisors, and the next common site is the fourth molar and lateral incisors. Supernumerary teeth are uncommon in the mandible, but premolars are the most common supernumerary teeth and occurrence is very rare in the incisor region of the mandible and the incidence is 2%. We need a early diagnosis and appropriate treatment plan because of possiblilty of diastema and eruption failure displacement, rotation of the associated permanent teeth, root resorption and dentigerous cyst with presence of the supernumerary teeth. In this two case, one supernumerary tooth located in the mandibular incisor region, the other supernumerary tooth located in premolar region. We could get normal alignment of mandibular dentition by extraction and orthodontic treatment.

This study was performed to determine the prevalence of hypodontia and hyperdontia of permanent teeth among Korean schoolchildren, and to compare differences in the prevalence between Korea, other country, and other ethnic groups. The sample consisted of 346 girls aged 6.9～0.3 yr and 375 boys aged 6.8～0.4 yr on whom a panoramic radiograph was taken at Yeonchun-Gun community in Korea. The prevalence of congenitally missing teeth (third molars excluded) was 6.7% in boys and somewhat higher, 9.5% in girls, and 8.0% for both sexes combined. On the average, number of missing teeth per affected child was 1.9 teeth. The most commonly congenitally missing teeth were the mandibular second premolar (32.7%), followed by the mandibular incisor (28.7%), the maxillary second premolar (16.7%), and the maxillary lateral incisors (10.2%). The prevalence of supernumerary teeth was 2.1 % in boys, 1.4% in girls, and 1.8% for both sexes combined. The most common supernumerary teeth were the mesiodens (76.9%), followed by the supernumerary premolar (23.1 %). The affected male-female ratio was 1.6: 1.0. The prevalence of congenital missing teeth in this study was similar to in studies of Japanese, Danish, American and German. The frequency of hyperdontia was lower in this study than in studies of Chinese children, Japanese and American.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the panoramic imaging features of cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) with a relatively large sample. Materials and Methods: The panoramic radiographs of 40 CCD patients who visited Seoul National University Dental Hospital between 2004 and 2018 were analyzed. Imaging features were recorded based on the consensus of 2 radiologists according to the following criteria: the number of supernumerary teeth and impacted teeth; the shape of the ascending ramus, condyle, coronoid process, sigmoid notch, antegonial notch, and hard palate; the mandibular midline suture; and the gonial angle. Results: The mean number of supernumerary teeth and impacted teeth were 6.1 and 8.3, respectively, and the supernumerary teeth and impacted teeth were concentrated in the anterior and premolar regions. Ramus parallelism was dominant (32 patients, 80.0%) and 5 patients (12.5%) showed a mandibular midline suture. The majority of mandibular condyles showed a rounded shape (61.2%), and most coronoid processes were triangular (43.8%) or round (37.5%). The mean gonial angle measured on panoramic radiographs was 122.6°. Conclusion: Panoramic radiographs were valuable for identifying the features of CCD and confirming the diagnosis. The presence of numerous supernumerary teeth and impacted teeth, especially in the anterior and premolar regions, and the characteristic shapes of the ramus, condyle, and coronoid process on panoramic radiographs may help to diagnose CCD.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence and radiographic features of 1,300 cases of supernumerary teeth by means of the analysis of periapical radiograms and/or pantomograms in 69,442 persons visited the Department of Oral Radiology, School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University during January 1980 to December 1989. This study of supernumerary teeth revealed the following features: 1. The incidence of supernumerary tooth was revealed to be 1.5% in total examined persons, and there was a higher incidence in males (74.0%) than in females (26.0%). 2. The supernumerary teeth were most frequently occurred in the 1 st decade (42.7%), followed by the 2nd decades (20.2%), the 3rd decades (14.1 %), and the 5th decades (7.2%). 3. There was a higher incidence in the maxilla (98.7%) than in the mandible (1.3%), and mesiodens (90.1 %) was the most frequently occurred. The maxillary lateral incisor region (3.1%) was next in order of frequency followed by maxillary distomolar (2.2%), and maxillary paramolar (1.5%). 4. There was a higher incidence of the impaction (82.7%) than that of the eruption (17.3%), and supernumerary tooth in lateral incisor region (87.8%) was the most frequently impacted one. 5. The inverted impaction was occurred in 63.1%, the vertical impaction in 18.1%, and the angulated impaction in 18.8%. In localization, a palatally (lingually) impacted supernumerary tooth was occurred in 85.0%, and middle impacted and buccally (labially) impacted supernumerary tooth showed the same incidence (7.5%). 6. A supplemental tooth was occurred in 3.2%, an accessory tooth in 96.8%, and a supplemental tooth was the most frequently occurred in maxillary lateral incisor and mandibular premolar region. 7. In effects of supernumerary tooth on adjacent tooth, crowding was occurred in 0.4%, diastema in 10.6%, rotation in 5.4%, eruption disturbance in 4.5%, root resorption in 2.5%, and dentigerous cyst in 2.2%.
