Co-Existent Supplemental Tooth and Isolated Macrodontia in Non Syndromic Primary Dentition: A Rarity

Supernumerary tooth is a developmental anomaly and has been argued to arise from multiple aetiology. These teeth may remain embedded in the alveolar bone or can erupt into the oral cavity. They can cause a variety of complications in the developing dentition . Macrodontia is an uncommon dental anomaly that can present in both primary and permanent dentition. It has often been reported to occur concomitantly with other dental anomalies and has also been an established clinical characteristic of numerous systemic conditions and syndromes. Here is an unusual presentation of a non syndromic case, with a supplemental tooth and an isolated macrodontic tooth, coexistent in deciduous dentition in maxilla, in a 6 ½ year old female patient.
