Abstract :
A healthy 33 years old male was reported to the Department of Oral Medicine and Radiology, Sri Sukhmani Dental College and Hospital, Dera Bassi, Punjab, India whose chief complaint was the presence of irregularly placed tooth in the lower right back region of the mouth. His dental, medical and family history was not relevant. On Intraoral examination, an erupted supernumerary tooth was found lingual to first and second right permanent mandibular premolars. It was irritating the tongue as told by the patient, hence was decided to extract it. After extraction, the root of the supernumerary tooth was found to be dilacerated. This report presents a case of unilaterally erupted Mandibular supernumerary premolar tooth with dilacerated root, which is a rare condition.
