The presence of supernumerary teethis an anomaly, characterized by increased numbers of normal teeth in the oral cavity. Synodontia or fusion is another alteration of development, that is a germ teeth fusion, resulting in the union of two units of teeth. These two alterations, being associated, may result in a lack of space in the arch during the permanent teeth growth, occasioning a probable crowding of teeth. As the protocol, in this case – like lots of other ones – clinic and x-ray exams becomes necessary to get an appropriate diagnosis, in an attempt to mitigate or eliminate a possible future disorder. This paper aims to report a clinic case that presents these two anomalies existing on anunic patient, and to describe the conservative surgical techniques to their treatment.
