ABSTRACT

Supernumerary teeth in the lower third-molar region are rare. When these are located in the region posterior to the third molar, they are known as «distomolars» or «distodens». Some authors refer to them as «fourth molars», a term that is somewhat less accepted due to the fact that the fourth molar is not part of the permanent dentition, but rather a supernumerary tooth. When a distomolar occurs parallel to the molars, either on the outer or inner surface of the jaw, it is known as a «paramolar». Surgical management is often complex and requires special considerations. We report two cases of supernumerary teeth in the third-molar region, one distomolar and one paramolar, and describe their diagnosis, etiology, and the surgical technique employed.
