Increase in number

Supernumerary teeth are that develop in addition to

normal complement. The tooth form may be :

normal (supplemental ) or abnormal(supernumerary)

The order of frequency of supernumerary teeth is:

,mesiodensthe

th4( distomolarmaxillary molar),

maxillary paramolar (buccal to first molar )

Mesiodens

is a Paramolar

supernumerary tooth

in the molar region.

The paramolar is

obstructing the path

of eruption of the third

molar.

The occlusal surface

of the paramolar is

facing the occlusal

surface of the

unerupted third molar.

May be called, in jest,

"kissing molars".

Distomolar

Multiple supernumerary teeth have been associated with a number of syndromes such as cleidocranial dysplasia

Missing teeth

1- absence of one tooth (hypodontia )

2- absence of numerous teeth ( oligodontia )

3- failure of all teeth to develop (anodontia )

Total anodontia of permanent teeth and partial

anodontia (hypodontia) of deciduous teeth as a

result of agenesis of teeth. The patient suffered

from a syndrome called ectodermal dysplasia

2-Variation of size of teeth

macrodontia

Macrodontia involves a tooth or teeth being

larger than normal in size with proportional

enlargement of pulp chamber, crown, and

root

microdontia

Microdontia implies the abnormal

smallness of a single or multiple teeth.

This is most commonly an isolated

anomaly such as a peg lateral

3-ABNORMALITIES IN

POSITION OF TEETH

Transposition

Transposition is the

condition in which two

teeth have exchanged

position

Retained tooth

Retained deciduous

second molar

undergoing resorption

of the crown.

Ankylosed tooth

Ankylosed third

molar. Ankylosis is

the union of

cementum to the

surrounding bone

without the

intervening

periodontal ligament space
