Therapeutic options in the treatment of supernumerary teeth.

Introduction Hyperdontia or supernumerary teeth are excess number of teeth in comparison to normal dentition. The aim of this study was to present different variants of permanent supernumerary teeth, as well as their observation or elimination in order to prevent possible complications Case report Six different cases of hyperdontia are presented in this paper. All hyperdontia cases were multidisciplinary evaluated and individual treatment protocols were applied. Already erupted supernumerary teeth were extracted without surgical intervention. Unerupted teeth were surgically removed or left for observation. Conclusion Early and frequent dental check-ups are very important for children in order to detect possible dentition irregularities and thus timely start with appropriate therapy.

Uvod Hiperdoncija (dentes supernumeraria) ili prekobrojni zubi predstavljaju povećan broj zuba u alveolarnom nastavku u odnosu na njihov normalan broj. Cilj ovog rada bio je da se prikažu različite varijante stalnih prekobrojnih zuba, kao i njihovo posmatranje ili eliminisanje kako bi se na vreme sprečile moguće komplikacije. Prikaz bolesnika U radu je prikazano šest različitih slučajeva hiperdoncije kod dece. Nakon konsultacije sa ortodontom i oralnim hirurgom primenjen je individualni plan terapije za svakog pacijenta. Prekobrojni zubi koji su bili već iznikli ekstrahovani su na uobičajen način bez hirurškog operativnog zahvata. Neiznikli prekobrojni zubi ekstrahovani su hirurškim putem ili su ostavljeni za praćenje. Zaključak U dečjem uzrastu važni su rani i česti kontrolni pregledi kako bi se na vreme uočile nepravilnosti u denticiji, a samim tim i blagovremeno započelo s odgovarajućom terapijom.
