Abstract
Supernumerary teeth, or hyperdontia, are the additional teeth to the normal series and are seen in all quadrants of the
jaw. They have been reported to occur in both primary and permanent dentition. The supplemental supernumerary refers
to duplication of teeth in the normal series and is found at the end of the tooth series. The majority of supernumeraries
found in primary dentition are of the supplemental type. It is rare and was overlooked because of their normal size and
shape. Hereby, we report three cases of supplemental maxillary permanent lateral incisor which resulted in crowding
and poor esthetics. This case series reports unilateral supplemental teeth and its management.
