Hyperdontia is one of the more studied anomalies of human dentition. Thisalteration represents the appearance of one or more teeth in a number greater of
normal, occurring in mandible or in maxilla and could be unilateral or bilateral. The
etiology of supernumerary teeth may be explained mainly due to the hyperactivity
of dental plate in its initial phase; its early detection is important because of there
have been a series of complications that may to cause diastemata, eruption retard
or impacted teeth, inappropriate positioning of permanent teeth, occlusal
misalignment and the development of odontogenic cysts or tumors. Thus, the
diagnosis is normally made from a conventional radiographic examination, mainly
the panoramic X-ray. The objective of present paper is the present four clinical
cases of patients presenting with supernumerary molars, seen in the Radiology
Service during the course of stomatology of the Federal University of Ceará.
