ABSTRACT
Supernumerary teeth are regarded as an anomalous increase in the number of naturally occurring teeth. Multiple supernumerary teeth can be seen in association with syndromes such as Cleidocranial dysplasia, Gardner’s syndrome, Fabry-Anderson syndrome and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Non-syndromic occurrence however is a rarity and very few reported cases exist. Th e exact etiopathogenesis of the condition remains unknown, but several theories have been proposed, the most popular one being “hyperactivity of dental lamina.” When present, supernumeraries often pose a problem to the normal development and eruption of the neighboring dentition. Most of them are accidental fi ndings on radiographs, which also happens to be the most reliable tool in early diagnosis of this abnormality. We describe a case of 28-year-old male having 10 supernumerary teeth with non-syndromic association, which were diagnosed during routine radiographic evaluation.

Hemophilia comprises a group of hereditary disorders caused due to the defi ciency of one or more clotting factors leading to prolonged clotting time and excessive bleeding tendencies. It is broadly divided into Hemophilia A, B and C which occur due to defi ciency of factors VIII, IX or XI (F VIII, F IX, F XI) respectively. Hemophilia A is an X linked recessive hereditary disorder and is the most common of the three, accounting for 80-85% of the cases. Understanding this complex entity is very important for a dentist to provide appropriate dental treatment and to avoid undesirable consequences. Th e aim of this article is to report a case of Hemophilia A with literature review highlighting the importance of restorative treatment in salvaging the teeth and preventing complications anticipated from the surgical procedures.
