Hasn’t erupted
Not blocked
Transposition
Tooth position switch with another
Not common
Max. canine/bicuspid is most commmon
Supernumerary teeth
Extra teeth
Result of excess dental lamina
More common in permanent dentition than primary
Can cause: misalignment, root resorption, dentigerous cysts
1-4% of population
> Asians, Native Americans
2:1 Male
Supplemental tooth
Supernumerary tooth that is morphologically normal
Mesiodens
Supernumerary tooth b/t maxillary central incisors
Most common supernumerary tooth
Usually palatal
Peridens

Ddx associated with Supernumerary tooth
Cleidocranial dysplasia Pykodysostosis Gardner’s syndrome • Osteoma’s • Supernumeraries • Impacted teeth • Colon polyps/cancer
Common missing teeth
Third molars most common
Lateral and mandibular second bicuspid second most common
Ddx associated with missing teeth
Ectodermal dysplasia
Microdont/Peg lateral
Small tooth
Generally only in maxilla
Fully-formed/normal anatomy
Megadont/Macrodont
Big tooth
Fully-formed/normal anatomy
Fusion
Missing tooth fused w/ existing tooth
Complete or incompletely fused roots and/or crowns
Pt will have one less tooth
Gemination
Two teeth develop from one tooth bud
Will not be missing a tooth
Partial or complete division through crown and root
