Simultaneous presence of partial anodontia and supernumerary teeth. 1979

N D Spyropoulos, and A J Patsakas, and A P Angelopoulos

The literature is reviewed and three cases of simultaneous presence of partial anodontia and supernumerary teeth are reported. In all three cases the abnormality involved both the maxilla and the mandible. The role of the panoramic radiograph in the detection of rare cases of this kind is emphasized and illustrated.
