Non-syndromic Supplemental Permanent Maxillary Lateral Incisor: A Rare Case Series.

Supernumerary teeth, or hyperdontia, are the additional teeth to the normal series and are seen in all quadrants of the jaw. They have been reported to occur in both primary and permanent dentition. The supplemental supernumerary refers to duplication of teeth in the normal series and is found at the end of the tooth series. The majority of supernumeraries found in primary dentition are of the supplemental type. It is rare and was overlooked because of their normal size and shape.
