Abstract
Introduction: Despite advances in the knowledge of dental morphogenesis, differentiation and formation of maxillary bones, relatively little is known about the etiology and molecular mechanisms underlying the formation of supernumerary teeth (DS) and some theories about the joint presence of bilateral mandibular torus (TM). Case report: The following describes a clinical situation of a female patient with a family history of DS, who was diagnosed clinically and tomographically with DS included in the body of bilateral TM, which manifested pain in the floor of the mouth when chewing, prior to signing an informed consent was surgically submitted to the removal of TM and DS. Results: after the application of a management protocol with two serial surgeries at different times, it was possible to obtain in a favorable way the final resolution of the reason for consultation of the patient with satisfactory evolution without complications. Conclusion: due to the unusualness of the case, surgical treatment is the most radical option, however, the etiology from the genetic context is not clear the coexistence of DS and TM.
