Overjet and overbite were normal (Figure 1a). A panoramic survey of the teeth showed an unerupted super-numerary tooth that was located on the left side of the maxillary arch (Figure 1b). The radiograph showed that the tooth was in a palatal position (Figure 1c). In the second follow-up period, after 3 years, radiographic examination revealed the presence of an unerupted supernumerary tooth in a palatal position on the right side of the maxillary arch (Figure 1d). The tooth was removed as described above under local anesthesia (Figure 1e). Presently, the patient is followed up through periodic examinations (Figure 1f).
