Hyperdontia
Hyperdontia is the state of having supernumerary teeth, or teeth that show up addition to the regular number of teeth. They can appear in any area of the dental arch and can affect any dental organ. The inverse of this condition is called hypodontia, where there is a congenital lack of teeth. This is seen more commonly than hyperdontia. The scientific definition of hyperdontia is "any tooth or odontogenic structure that is formed from tooth germ in excess of usual number for any given region of the dental arch.” They can be a considerable measure of teeth or very few teeth and can occur on any place in the dental arch. They may be symmetrical or non-symmetrical.
