          Abstract

          The presence of supernumerary tooth (SNT) in the nasal cavity is a rare condition with limited literature data. We report two cases with a history of nasal obstruction and difficulty breathing. In both cases, clinical and radiological examination confirmed intranasal SNT. Extractions were executed in general anesthesia using Rochester-Pean instruments transnasally. In addition, a literature review of intranasal SNT was performed. The database search retrieved a total number of 50 cases in time period from 1970 to 2020. Mean age of patients was 22.5 years. Most common symptoms were unilateral obstruction of breathing and headache. Surgical extraction of intranasal SNT is recommended to eliminate the symptoms.

          Characteristics of premaxillary supernumerary teeth: a survey of 112 cases.

          J Liu (2015)
          The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics of premaxillary supernumerary teeth among children in Taiwan. The study population consisted of 112 children, ranging in age from four years to fourteen years. The characteristics of supernumerary teeth were obtained from radiographs and clinical examination, and were confirmed by surgical intervention. The results showed that males were affected approximately three times as frequently as female. About 36 percent of the patients had more than one supernumerary tooth and more than 96 percent of supernumerary teeth occurred in the central incisor region. About 46 percent of the supernumerary teeth were in the vertical position, 34 percent of the supernumerary teeth were erupted; and the eruption rate of conical shaped and tuberculate shaped supernumerary teeth were similar.

            Aetiology of supernumerary teeth: a literature review.

            Supernumerary teeth are teeth, or tooth-like structures that have either erupted or remain unerupted in addition to the 20 primary and 32 permanent teeth.

              Evaluating surface roughness of a polyamide denture base material in comparison with poly (methyl methacrylate).

              Polyamide denture base materials are more flexible than the commonly used poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). However polishability of polyamides has not been examined adequately. This study investigated the surface roughness (Ra) and clinical acceptability of samples of a polyamide denture base material and PMMA fabricated by injection moulding and traditional heat processing systems, respectively. Half of each sample surface was polished using the conventional technique (lathe with pumice followed by high shine buffs) and the other half was left unpolished. A profilometer was used to measure Ra along 3 tracks on each surface before and after polishing. Two-way ANOVA was used to compare the two surfaces of the two materials for variations in Ra values. Polyamide denture base material when polished with conventional laboratory technique became more than 7 times smoother whereas processed PMMA when polished became more than 20 times smoother using the same polishing technique. However the surface roughness of polyamide is well within the accepted norm of 0.2 µm Ra. Polyamide produces a clinically acceptable smoothness after conventional polishing by lathe.
