Abstract
The presence of supernumerary teeth is not uncommon in the general population. They
occur more frequently in patients with a family history of such teeth but it is rare to find
multiple supernumeraries in individuals with no other associated disease or syndrome.
There have been very few documented cases of bilateral maxillary and mandibular
supernumeraries, distal to the third molars. Supernumerary teeth may affect the
permanent dentition if not removed. A 24 year-old male with five distomolars and a
complete dentition is presented.
