In general, 28 permanent teeth and 4 wisdom teeth are produced in a person's oral cavity, resulting in a total of 32 teeth growing, but if there are more or unnecessary teeth, this is called 'excess".
If excess teeth are left unattended, there may be problems with the normal process of tooth growth (the tooth penetrates the gums from the gums), and additional surgery and orthodontic treatment may be required. In particular, more care should be taken between the ages of 6 and 15 when permanent teeth are located, which can prevent the front teeth from coming out, preventing the front teeth from coming out at all, or coming out in a strange position, causing malocclusion, which can affect the authoring function. In addition, if the excess value ambushed on the jawbone is not removed and remains for a long time, it may cause cysts around it.
The exact cause of the excess is not known. However, if there is an excess value for parents or brothers, the probability of occurrence increases. Since most are ambushed within the jawbone, it is very difficult for the parties or guardians to know in advance. It can only be detected through panoramic radiography, near-end radiography, and CT scans.
Extraction is the best treatment, but a specialist must closely examine the oral situation and decide. If excess teeth are expected to greatly affect the growth of adjacent permanent teeth, they are extracted early, but this can affect the surrounding teeth no matter how careful they are, so extraction of adjacent permanent teeth is generally determined after some maturity.
Excess dental surgery is performed after local anesthesia and incision of the gums, and depending on the situation, some of the gums are deleted. In the case of early extraction, surgery may be performed at the age of 6 to 7, and at this age, sedation treatment or general anesthesia should be considered. If the excess value is deeply ambushed, it often proceeds safely to general anesthesia.
Professor Lim Jae-hyung of the Department of Dental Medicine at Korea University Ansan Hospital said, "Excessive teeth interfere with the bleeding of permanent teeth, causing disruption of teeth, and in severe cases, excessive teeth can cause complications that absorb root of surrounding normal teeth, and in rare cases, can cause lesions such as cysts and tumors, so it is a disease that cannot be overlooked lightly."Excessive teeth are not extracted carelessly, but are determined according to the child's age and growth rate, so please proceed with the examination and treatment through close communication with the specialist."
