Supernumerary teeth (hyperdontia) can be defined as any tooth or teeth like substance in excess of the normal number of deciduous or permanent teeth which can cause ectopic and delayed eruption of the permanent teeth, which can further alter the occlusion and appearance of the child. It is has been found as per the different studies that supernumerary teeth in females (1.28%) are more prevalent than in males (1.0%). This case report describes the multidisciplinary management of two impacted supernumerary teeth, which prevented the eruption of the maxillary left central incisor (21) in case 1 and another case describes buccally erupted 11 due to the presence of retained deciduous teeth and palatally placed supernumerary teeth. Surgical removal of the supernumerary teeth was done in both the cases.
