Abstract

Clinical study was performed on 53 patients under 15 years of age with supernumerary teeth in the anterior region of maxilla at the Department of Maxillofacial Surgery, Yamaguchi University Medical Hospital for 10 years (1989-1998). In the 53 patients, 68 supernumerary teeth were found: 38 patients with one, 15patients with two. The ratio of male to female was 3: 1. In most cases, the presence of supernumerary teeth had been found in the patients aged 6-7 years (52.9%). Forty-three percent of the patients had problems such as mid-line space, abnormal arrangement of the teeth and delayed eruption of incisor. Most of them located around the central incisor and palatal side. Supernumerary teeth were extracted most frequently between 6 and 8 years old.
