Manejo clínico de pacientes pediátricos con anomalías de dientes supernumerarios-revisión bibliográfica.

Abstract

The malformations or dental anomalies of dental development, are those pathologies that may or may not be associated with any syndrome, thus giving a varied morphology giving different subtypes and types of supernumerary teeth, thus giving an additional tooth in the mouth presenting at different stages of cephalometric and dental development, most of these types of malformations can produce malocclusions, retention of pieces and in turn malformations in other teeth. When supernumerary teeth appear ectopically, it is necessary to see them by means of radiography and manage them surgically. In the present review by means of a bibliographic study where the clinical management of pediatric patients with supernumerary teeth was covered, 15 articles were reviewed, in which clinical cases and study articles on supernumerary teeth were included, covering topics such as single and multiple, unilateral or bilateral malformations. Supernumerary teeth are anomalies that are associated with different conditions such as dental malposition, root resorption, diastemas, alterations of the midline and gyroversions, for this reason we seek through this review to determine updated clinical management that give us simple extractions in supernumerary teeth or complex extractions in retained teeth and after these orthodontic treatments.
