Abstract

Multiple impacted supernumerary teeth without any associated systemic conditions or syndromes are rare. The prevalence rate of supernumerary teeth in the permanent dentition is between 0.1– 6.9 % as compared to 0.3–0.6% in theprimary dentition. In this article, reporting a rare family history of non-syndromic multiple impacted supernumerary teeth,found incidentally during routine radiographic examination. Though the etiologic factor of multiple impacted supernumerary teeth are still not clearly known especially in cases without any syndrome. However, thorough evaluation is necessary toexclude associated systemic conditions.
