Abstract: | Radiographs play an important role in assessment of both the location and the typing of supernumerary teeth. In general, periapical, occlusal, and/or panoramic radiographs are sufficient for providing the information required by the clinician. These modalities, however, do not provide detailed information concerning the 3-dimensional relationship between supernumerary or ectopically impacted teeth and adjacent structures. This case report discusses the value of computerized tomography (CT) for evaluation of the root relationships of supernumerary teeth located palatally to maxillary permanent central incisors. CT accurately demonstrated the relationship between the supernumerary teeth and the permanent tooth roots. |
