Maxillary paramolar: report of a case and literature review

Supernumerary teeth are the teeth which are more in number in addition to the normal number found in either primary or permanent dentition. Paramolar is a supernumerary structure occurring buccally or lingually near the molars and it may be caused by combination of genetic and environmental factors. Reports of this unique entity are rarely found in the literature. The present article reports a case of paramolar in the maxillary molar region in an 11-year-old female patient and also reviews the literature about paramolar.
