Abstract
In clinical pediatric dentistry, there are many cases of maxillary impacted supernumerary teeth. We report two rare cases in which an inverted impacted supernumerary tooth moved backward along the palate in the maxilla. Neither inverted impacted supernumerary tooth influenced the dentition or occlusion. CT images showed that each supernumerary tooth had erupted into the nasal mucous membrane. Each supernumerary tooth was surgically extracted. The postoperative course was uneventful,without any symptoms.In conclusion, it is possible to extract an inverted impacted supernumerary tooth without clinical influence by understanding the condition in detail. This case report suggests that CT images are effective for understanding the condition of impacted supernumerary teeth.
