RESUMEN
Neurofibroma (NF) is a rare benign non-odontogenic tumor of the oral cavity. NF may present either as solitary lesions or as part of the generalized syndrome of NF or von Recklinghausen’s disease of the skin. The heterogeneous nature of NF was established by Riccardi et al. and he recognized at least seven types of NF. Among these proposed classifications of the disease, two distinct forms are generally accepted namely, a peripheral form known as NF Type I (NF-I), and a central form known as NF-II. NF-I represents the classic form of this disease, described by Recklinghawsen in 1882. Clinically, oral NF usually appears as slow growing, painless, pedunculated or sessile nodules. For illustration, a case of a NF with oral findings is been presented.

Supernumerary teeth, also known as hyperdontia, is a term used to describe extra teeth that develop in addition to the 20 primary and 32 permanent teeth that we are predisposed to have. Hyperdontia is seen more commonly in the permanent dentition than primary teeth. Th e incidence in the permanent dentition is reported to vary between 0.1% and 3.8%, and its frequency in the primary dentition is found to be 0.3-0.8%. A 32-year-old male patient reported to the department of oral medicine and radiology with the chief complaint of stains and deposits, his clinical examination revealed 9 supernumerary teeth and panoramic radiographic revealed 3 more extra making a total of 12 supernumerary teeth.
