Abstract
NASCIMENTO SILVA, Daniela; FERRARO-BEZERRA, Marcelo; BARBOSA GUIMARAES, Karis and HERNANDEZ CANCINO, Claudia Marcela. Cuartos molares supernumerarios: relato de caso clínico. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2006, vol.43, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-297X.
Supernumerary teeth are generally asymptomatic and are diagnosed by routine X-ray tests. The fourth molar teeth represent the second group of the most frequent supernumerary teeth, occur in distal position to the third molar teeth, specially in the superior maxilla and, in most of the cases, they are included. The aim of this paper is to comment on the case of a 30-year-old woman with the fourth molar teeth included in the inferior maxilla and to describe the technique used for their removal.
