| Abstract | |
Concomitant hypodontia and hyperdontia is a rare mixed numeric dental anomalous condition. Only few case reports of such unusual condition exist in the literature. The presence of these conditions in the same area of dental arch and specifically in the mandibular anterior region is infrequently reported. This report presents a case of 20-year-old male with congenitally missing permanent mandibular central incisors in conjunction with a supernumerary tooth in the same arch. The clinical and radiographic appearance, etiology and prevalence of this rare condition are discussed. |
