The woman who mothered 2 of the boys was related to her husband as first cousin. Mercuri and O'Neill (1980) reported 2 sisters with multiple impacted and supernumerary teeth (a total of 27 in one of them) (see 187100), who had a history of the same in 2 brothers, the father, and a paternal grandparent. Babu et al. (1998) reported a mother and daughter with nonsyndromic multiple impacted normal and supernumerary teeth. The daughter presented at age 8 years with retained upper and lower primary teeth anteriorly. Intraoral examination showed a complete set of primary dentition in both the maxillary and mandibular arches, with a single conical supernumerary tooth between the left central and lateral incisors. Radiography confirmed the complete set of primary dentition and revealed 3 supernumerary teeth in the anterior mandibular region as well as the previously noted supernumerary tooth in the anterior maxillary region. There was lack of resorption of roots of the anterior teeth. Radiography of the mother, who reported a similar history of retained primary teeth, showed multiple impacted teeth in both the maxilla and mandible, with approximately 18 impacted teeth in the anterior mandible, including 8 supernumerary teeth.
