Abstract

Supernumerary teeth (ST) are odontostomatologic anomaly characterized by as the existence excessive number of teeth in relation to the normal dental formula. This condition is commonly seen with several congenital genetic disorders such as Gardner's syndrome, cleidocranial dysostosis and cleft lip and palate. Less common syndromes that are associated with ST are; Fabry Disease, Ellis-van Creveld syndrome, Nance-Horan syndrome, Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome and Trico–Rhino–Phalangeal syndrome. ST can be an important component of a distinctive disorder and an important clue for early diagnosis. Certainly early detecting the abnormalities gives us to make correct management of the patient and also it is important for making well-informed decisions about long-term medical care and treatment. In this review, the genetic syndromes that are related with ST were discussed.

Keywords: Dental anomalies, genetic syndromes, supernumerary teeth

INTRODUCTION

Both the primary and permanent dentitions may be affected by variations in the number, size, and form of the teeth, as well as the structure of the dental hard tissues.[1] These variations may be caused by local or systemically acting environmental factors and genetically determined, or possibly from a combination of both two factors.[2,3,4] Dental anomalies classified as numerical, form, size, structural, and positional anomalies, and supernumerary teeth (ST) have an important place in numerical anomalies.[5]

Supernumerary teeth or hyperdontia are odontostomatologic anomaly characterized by as the existence of an excessive number of teeth.[6] The prevalence of ST has been reported 0.2–3% in the primary and permanent dentition.[7,8] Supernumerary primary teeth are apparently less common than supernumerary permanent teeth and patients with supernumerary primary teeth have a 30–50% chance of these being followed by supernumerary permanent teeth.[9,10,11] The anomaly effect the maxilla more than the mandible (8:1).[12,13] Bruning et al.[11] suggested a sex-linked inheritance pattern; males over females. ST may develop at any location, but mostly at the premaxillar region.[14] Moreover, excessive teeth between two maxillary incisors are referred as mesiodens and ST in the molar regions adjacent or distal to the normal sequence of teeth are referred to as paramolars or distomolars, respectively.[15,16] ST might resemble normal teeth or be amorphous, in some cases they may be an odontome.[17] Teeth that resemble those of the normal series are referred to as supplemental teeth while those of less typical, often reduced, form-sometimes further described as tuberculate or conical can be termed accessory ST.[18]

Eruption failure, rotation or displacement of the adjacent teeth, dilacerations, root resorption, crowding, malocclusion, fistulas and cystic formation, nasal cavity eruption, and delayed or abnormal root development of permanent teeth are common clinical complications linked with ST.[19,20,21] A precise diagnosis of ST and its management requires clinical examination and a comprehensive radiographic screening just after that.[20,21] Furthermore, the location and morphology of ST and other clinical complications will also affect the choice of the treatment and extraction of the teeth is the most common method for treatment.[15,16,17,18]

There are many numbers of theories about the development of the etiology of ST even though it's not fully explained.[18] Hyperactivity of the dental lamina or dichotomy of the tooth bud, the molecular mechanism during the early phase of tooth development can be a ground for single ST.[19,20,21] ST occur more commonly in the relatives of affected patients than in the general population. They can be transmitted as an autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive trait with incomplete penetrance, or may be associated with the X chromosom.[22] Although there are some reports of multiple or bilaterally ST without any systemic conditions or associated syndromes, in most cases, ST are associated with other conditions or defects such as cleft lip/palate, cleidocranial dysostosis (CCD) and Gardner's syndrome.[22,23,24,25,26] Less common syndromes that related with ST are; Fabry disease, Ellis-van Creveld (EvC) syndrome, Trico–Rhino–Phalangeal syndrome (TRPS), Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS), and Nance-Horan syndrome (NHS).[27,28,29,30,31] In this review, possible etiological factors and the genetic background of ST were identified.

Cleft lip and palate

Clefts of the lip-palate (CLP) are the most common congenital craniofacial deformities, resulting from incomplete fusion of the facial buds at the beginning of pregnancy.[32] Genetic and environmental factors, as well as their interactions, have been implied in CLP etiology. CLP occurs in 15% of neonates in the homozygous A/WySn mouse strain, with a multifactorial genetic etiology, the clf1 and clf2 variant genes. The prevalence of the isolated cleft lip and isolated cleft palate is approximately 1/1000 and 1/2000 respectively.[33,34] The anodontia is the most common anomaly, which are found at the cleft area, ST are the second ones and both of them are seen nearly seven times more frequent in patients with orofacial cleft.[35] The reason of the ST at the cleft area is the fragmentation of the dental lamina during cleft formation, and the frequency of ST in the cleft area is about 22.2%.[36] Due to the anatomy of the cleft region, it is difficult to distinguish the ST from the others, clinicians should be aware the disorder and its sequels. In the treatment of this condition, a craniofacial team work together, and dentists play a critical role for the best outcomes.

Cleidocranial dysostosis

Cleidocranial dysostosis is a rare syndrome with autosomal dominant inheritance. The frequency of this disorder is one per million individuals.[37] Although the usual pattern of inheritance is autosomal dominant, around 40% of cases can occur as sporadic.[38,39] CCD has now been associated with more than 48 distinct phenotypic features, including central nervous system anomalies, axial and appendicular skeletal defects, craniofacial and dental malformations and hearing loss.[40,41,42,43,44] Skeletal manifestations include hypoplastic or aplastic clavicle, abnormally large, wide-open fontanels at birth that may remain open throughout life, delayed eruption of primary teeth, ST with dental crowding, delayed eruption of secondary dentition, open pubic symphysis, short, broad thumbs, tapering fingers and brachydactyly.[40,41] Scoliosis, genu valgum, and pes planus are other skeletal problems that seen in the CCD patients. Other features of the syndrome include abnormality of pharyngeal bones, maxillary and mandibular abnormalities, obliterated maxillary sinuses, crossed renal ectopia and pelvic abnormalities.[42,43] The patients may show mild degree of motor delay.[40,41,42,43] The affected gene has been located on chromosome 6p21.[45] Mundlos et al. identified mutations in CBF-1 (RUNX2) as the molecular etiology of CCD.[46] To date, more than 70 mutations within the coding regions and splice sites of RUNX2 have been identified.[47] At the syndrome, significant phenotypic variabilities are the rule. Some of the cases present with in utero fractures and severe calvarias hypomineralization or skeletal abnormalities, other manifest only ST.[42] No definitive genotype-phenotype correlations have been identified.[42,43] The frequencies of ST in patients with cleidocranial dysplasia are seen nearly 22% in the maxillary incisor region and 5% in the molar region.[48] Although there is a variable expressivity of CCD early diagnosis through dysmorphic features and also oral findings are possible.

Gardner's syndrome

Gardner's syndrome is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder with complete penetrance and variable expressivity.[49] The characteristic features of the syndrome are; multiple adenomatous polyposis of the large intestine, multiple osteomas, dental abnormalities, fibrous dysplasia of the skull, fibromas, desmoid tumors, epidermoid cysts, a number of malignant tumors, and ST.[49,50] The affected gene (APC) is located on the long arm of chromosome 5.[49] Gardner's syndrome has been accepted a variant of familial adenomatosis polyposis (FAP), rather than a distinct subtype of the disease.[51] Garden's Syndrome is used to identify the clinical manifestations of cases with FAP in whom the extra-intestinal features, such as osteomas, skin tumors, and soft-tissue tumors are especially prominent. At least 10–15% of patients with FAP develop desmoids tumors that usually located in the abdominal wall and intra-abdominally.[51] Desmoid tumors are one of the most important causes of mortality in patients with FAP.[51] Presence of osteomas is required to make the diagnosis of Gardner's syndrome.[52] Osteomas are usually asymptomatic and are typically localized in the mandible, but can also appear in the skull and long bones. Skin tumors include epidermal cysts, lipomas, leiomyomas, and fibromas. Although not initially described by Gardner, congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigmented epithelium is also a common manifestation of FAP.[53] Oral findings are ST, esp. odontomas, osteomas of the jaw and impacted teeth and that present in nearly 30% of patients with Gardner syndrome.[49,52]

Fabry disease

Fabry's disease is a rare X-linked metabolic lysosomal storage disease that caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (AGA).[54] The underlying reason is the mutations in the gene encoding AGA. The first symptoms of Fabry's disease are usually febrile episodes, painful acroparesthesia, and gastrointestinal upset which are noticed during childhood.[54,55,56] The main problem is the accumulation of glycophospholipids at the different organs and tissues. The disease leads to various clinical findings, including cardiomyopathy, high blood pressure, angiokeratomas, renal insufficiency, renal failure, cornea verticillata, neropathia, tinnitus, and vertigo.[55] Oral findings have been reported in a limited number of studies. At this disease intraoral and perioral telangiectasias, angiokeratomas, cysts or polyps of the maxillary sinuses can be seen.[56] At the previous reports multiple supernumerary, impacted and unerupted teeth, and dental malocclusion in patients with Fabry's disease were also described.[57,58]

Ellis-Van Creveld Syndrome (Chondroectodermal Dysplasia)

Ellis-van Creveld syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutation in the EVC and also EVC2 gene that map to the chromosome 4p16.[59] The prevalence of the syndrome is about 7/1,000,000.[60] The affected tissues are mainly ectodermal components such as hairs, nails and enamel.[59,60] The characteristic features of the syndrome includes; post-axial polydactyl, genitourinary abnormalities at males (epispadias, hypospadias, cryptorchidism), atrial septal defect, short-limbed dwarfism that identifiable at birth, short ribs, malformation of the wrist bones, cleft palate and ST (natal teeth).[61] In terms of dentition, partial cleft lip, defect in alveolar ridge and ST formation are clinical findings and especially teeth may already be erupted at birth (natal teeth) and they exfoliate prematurely.[62]

Trico-Rhino-Phalangeal Syndrome

The Tricho-Rhino-Phalangeal Syndromes is an autosomal-dominant disorder that characterized by abnormalities of the hair, face, and skeletal system.[63] The clinical manifestations of the syndrome are fine and sparse scalp hair, cone-shaped epiphyses of the middle phalanges of some fingers and toes, laterally sparse eyebrows, sparse eyelashes, a thin upper lip with vermilion border, pear-shaped broad nose, a long and flat philtrum, occasionally large and protruding ears, and hip malformations.[64] Three types of the syndrome have been classified according to their clinical differences and cytogenetic abnormalities. TRPS type I also called as Giedion syndrome is caused by deletion or heterozygous mutations in the TRPS1 gene on chromosome 8q24.[65] Besides the cardinal features of the syndrome dental abnormalities such as microdontia, delayed tooth eruption, ST and malocclusion have been reported.[64]

Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome

Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome (RTS) is a rare multiple congenital syndrome characterized by distinctive facial features, moderate to severe learning difficulties, broad thumbs, and great toes.[66] The RTS was first described in 1963, with the main clinical features such as short-broad thumbs and great toes, mental disability, small head, cryptorchidisim in males, histories of recurrent respiratory infections and particular facial abnormalities.[67] The affected people have a “beaked-shaped” nose, with a broad fleshy bridge, long and deviated septum protruding below the level of the nasal alae with an associated short columella.[66] The newborn does not resemble typical facial appearance of RTS but characteristic face becomes obvious with age. Congenital cardiovascular and urinary tract system anomalies, as well as, tumors and coetaneous features like spontaneous keloids, nevus, café au lait spots, keratoses pilaris are among systemic complications of the syndrome.[67] The diagnosis of RST is essentially made by clinical and radiological examination accompanied with detailed history taking. The incidence of clinically diagnosed individuals with RTS is about 8%.[67] The dentist play a great role since the presence of ST and talon cusps can be very useful.

Nance-Horan Syndrome (Cataract-Dental Syndorme)

Nance-Horan syndrome is an X-linked syndrome involving both dental anomalies and ophthalmological findings. It is caused by mutations in the NHS gene on the chromosome Xp22.[68,69] Until date, 26 mutations in the NHS gene have been described. Ophthalmological findings in affected males include bilateral severe congenital cataract that is usually leading to profound visual loss. Microphthalmia, nystagmus, and microcornea have also been reported.[69] Mental retardation, autism, and behavioral disturbance can be seen. Characteristic dysmorphic facial features include long, narrow facies, large anteverted pinnae, prominent nose and prominent nasal bridge.[68,69] Dental abnormalities include supernumerary maxillary incisors (mesiodens), diastema between the teeth and screwdriver blade–shaped incisors.

DISCUSSION

Supernumerary teeth are common clinical and radiographic findings that are usually a component of the syndrome.[24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31] They cause certain clinical problems such as crowding, displacement of a permanent tooth, failure to erupt, or dentigerous cyst formation.[1,2,3] They may exhibit ectopic eruption, may be impacted or erupts spontaneously. There are different opinions about the treatment options of ST.[5] Some authors suggested that if ST do not cause any discernable adverse effect on adjacent teeth and if no future orthodontic treatment foreseen, it is reasonable to recommend that immediate surgical intervention is not essential.[70,71] Other suggested that ST have a tendency to resorb and disappear if left untreated.[72,73] Treatment decision may affected from several factors, such as the ST are erupted or nonerupted, stage of the crown and root development, the distance between the ST and root of the adjacent teeth and the condition of the dentition (malocclusion, crowding, missing teeth).[70,71,72]

The physician must be careful when evaluating the significant craniofacial or non-craniofacial findings. Isolated cleft lip and/or palate can cause ST and also it can be inherited.[26,32,33] Short stature must cause the physician to suspect of EvC Syndrome, CCD and RTS.[43,57,66] If delayed closure of the cranial sutures and hypoplastic or aplastic clavicles are seen together with ST then diagnose of the patient is probably CCD.[57] On the other hand, short-limb dwarfism, cleft palate, post-axial polydactyly, malformation of the wrist bones, ectodermal dysplasia with dystrophic nails, short ribs, genitourinary abnormalities, congenital cardiac abnormalities are the main features of EvC Syndrome.[59,60,61] Mental and growth retardation and especially broad thumbs and great toes should make physicians diagnose RTS.[66,67]

Ophthalmological findings (such as congenital cataract) and mental retardation helps to diagnose of NHS and also different skeletal findings such as cone-shaped epiphyses of phalangeal bones and hip malformations can make physician diagnose TRPS.[29,30,68,69] If a patient have ST with the symptoms of metabolic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, renal dysfunction and corneal dystrophy with febrile episodes, painful acroparesthesia, gastrointestinal upset, cutaneous angiokeratomas, stroke at a young age the physician must suspect if the underlying genetic disorder is Fabry Disease.[54,55,56,57,58] The patient with intestinal multiple adenomatous polyposis, multiple osteomas of the facial bones, cutaneous epidermoid cysts, desmoid tumors, fibrous hyperplasia of the skin and mesentery must remind the Gardner's Syndrome.[49,50,51]

CONCLUSION

Supernumerary teeth can be an important component of a distinctive disorder and at the same time they can be an important clue for early diagnosis. Certainly detecting the abnormalities early gives us to make correct management of the patient and also it is important for making well informed decisions about long-term medical care and treatments.
