Abstract

Introduction: Hyperdontia is a type of dental development disorder linked to various factors, characterized by an excessive number of teeth in relation to the normal dental formula. This anomaly can affect both jaws and dentitions, but the anterior maxillary region and the permanent dentition are the most affected, and it is more prevalent in male patients. Early diagnosis and immediate treatment are of the utmost importance to avoid complications. Objective: To describe a surgical procedure involving the removal of bilateral mandibular supernumerary teeth in a 17-year-old patient for orthodontic purposes. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive study of a clinical case, carried out by a student and a team of professors from the postgraduate course in minor oral surgery, at the Dentistry school clinic of the Integrated College of Patos (UNIFIP). The procedure was carried out in two surgical procedures, with a 30-day interval between the surgeries. Conclusion: There are several consequences that supernumerary elements can cause and this case report raises awareness and provides evidence for the clinical characterization and optimal treatment of supernumerary teeth.
