Abstract
|
|
|
|
The supernumerary teeth mean excessive teeth that appear in addition to the regular number of teeth and occur in a wide variety of sites. Mesiodens, which is a malformed, peg like tooth that occurs between the maxillary central incisor is most common. The next common site is the fourth molar and lateral incisors. Tonsil as a site of supernumerary teeth is rare, however, we experienced one such case of an ectopic supernumerary tooth embedded in tonsil.
