Abstract

Teeth that are seen in duplications are usually termed as supplemental teeth which may be present in both primary and permanent dentition. Supplemental teeth forms are actually the subset of supernumerary teeth which are commonly seen in permanent dentition as compared to primary dentition. The presence of these extra teeth may pose various clinical complications. Two cases with supplemental tooth in maxillary arch lateral incisor region are discussed and emphasis is laid on the importance of early diagnosis and treatment during early mixed dentition in present case report.
