## TL;DR

A rare case of a child with extra teeth in both primary and secondary dentition without any related syndrome is reported.

## Contribution

The novelty lies in documenting non-syndromic bilateral supernumerary teeth across primary and secondary dentition in a medically healthy child.

## Key findings

- An eight-year-old female patient presented with non-syndromic bilateral supernumerary teeth.
- The patient had no family history or medical conditions associated with supernumerary teeth.
- The case highlights the rare occurrence of such dental anomalies without underlying syndromes.

## Abstract

Supernumerary teeth are presented in any region of the dental arches as additional teeth to the standard set of teeth and may present in either the primary or secondary dentition. They can be found as single or multiple teeth on one or both sides of the dental arches, with a preference for the premaxilla. The supernumerary teeth might cause aesthetic and/or functional problems, mainly if situated in the maxillary anterior region. Multiple supernumerary teeth are often related to specific conditions or in syndromic patients, i.e., cleft palate, cleft lip, cleidocranial dysplasia, and Gardner's syndrome. This report presents a case of an eight-year-old female patient with non-syndromic bilateral supernumerary teeth in the primary and secondary dentition. The patient is medically fit, and her family history was non-contributory.
