  • Title: The management of premolar supernumeraries in three orthodontic cases.
    Author: McNamara CM, Foley TF, Wright GZ, Sandy JR.
    Journal: J Clin Pediatr Dent; 1997; 22(1):15-8. PubMed ID: 9643197.
    Abstract:
    This paper reviews the incidence, etiology and location of supernumerary teeth with emphasis on premolar supernumeraries and examines the management of supernumerary premolars of three patients undergoing orthodontics. These cases demonstrate that the management of premolars is assessed individually and treatments based on potential complications, which may occur during the orthodontic and surgical management of the dentition. Progress and posttreatment radiographs are recommended for the assessment of late forming supernumerary teeth.
