Supplemental permanent maxillary canines: report of two rare bilateral cases.

Supernumerary teeth in the permanent maxillary canine areas are uncommon, and are usually in the form of small conical-shaped teeth. Only a few reports of supplemental maxillary canines have been published in the literature, and most relate to unilateral cases. Bilateral occurrence of such supplemental teeth in non-syndromic patients has been reported to be extremely rare. This article reports two cases of bilateral supplemental permanent maxillary canines in children with no associated syndrome.
