Subjects:	SUPERNUMERARY teeth, PERMANENT dentition
Abstract:	Supernumerary teeth (or hyperdontia) affect 1 to 3% of the population and are usually detected in routine exams, mainly affecting permanent teeth. Most of them are asymptomatic and in 90% of the cases are located in the anterior region of the maxilla and if they are not removed early, they can cause changes in the development of the occlusion. Although, a relatively rare anomaly may be the cause of various dental and occlusal disorders, especially in permanent dentition. These complications include dental crowding, permanent tooth impactions, root resorption, diastemas in the midline, eruption in the nasal cavity, and formation of primordial or follicular cyst. Methodology: This is a case study, descriptive and quantitative using a case report. Objective: This study aimed to report a clinical case of a supernumerary tooth discovered by radiographic examination during a consultation with the Orthodontist; The importance of its early diagnosis and its treatment. The study concluded that the early diagnosis of the presence of a supernumerary is what will determine the prognosis and treatment of the case. Thus, avoiding aesthetic, functional and pathological disorders. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
