Zusammenfassung
Introduction: supernumerary teeth or hiperodontia are infrequent alterations characterized by a higher number of tooth, and, to date, with a controversial ethiology. This abnormality presents a higher prevalence in women, and its preferent location is maxilar, near the midline. Objectives: The present paper describes the simultaneous surgical treatment of third and fourth impacted molars, as well as its necessary diagnostic protocol. Clinical case: We present a 48 year-old woman that comes into the Surgery and Implantology Service of the Virgen de la Paloma hospital, sent by her usual dentist. After performing a radiologic study, through panoramic radiograph, it was evidenced the presence of bilateral mandibular impacted distomolars next to third molars, which relation to the inferior dental nerve was determined by a tomographic study. Once informed, and having obtained the informed consent, the simultaneous extraction of the four inferior molars was done. Conclusions: The treatment of supernumerary molars should be performed as soon as posible, with the purpose of avoiding displacement and eruption of permanent teeth.
