A incidência e impacto dos dentes supranumerários em pacientes com fissura labial: um relato de caso

Abstract

The present article aims to highlight the impacts and clinical prevalence of supernumerary teeth in a pediatric patient with a cleft lip, undergoing treatment at the FacMais School of Dentistry Clinic. In this way, it will report the impacts that supernumerary teeth have brought to this patient, including aesthetic and functional aspects. A systematic literature review will be conducted using electronic databases such as PubMed. The study involved a 7-year-old male child who was born with a cleft lip, which had already been surgically treated, and presented with supernumerary teeth in the cleft region. Thus, after the surgical treatment of this patient, satisfactory results were achieved, as the primary needs of the patient were addressed, which included the surgical removal of the impacted supernumerary tooth that was preventing the eruption of the permanent tooth.
