"Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research is at present a well-known Indian originated scientific journal which started with a humble beginning. I have been associated with this journal since many years. I appreciate the Editor, Dr. Hemant Jain, for his constant effort in bringing up this journal to the present status right from the scratch. The journal is multidisciplinary. It encourages in publishing the scientific articles from postgraduates and also the beginners who start their career. At the same time the journal also caters for the high quality articles from specialty and super-specialty researchers. Hence it provides a platform for the scientist and researchers to publish. The other aspect of it is, the readers get the information regarding the most recent developments in science which can be used for teaching, research, treating patients and to some extent take preventive measures against certain diseases. The journal is contributing immensely to the society at national and international level."

" Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR) is a multi-specialty medical and dental journal publishing high quality research articles in almost all branches of medicine. The quality of printing of figures and tables is excellent and comparable to any International journal. An added advantage is nominal publication charges and monthly issue of the journal and more chances of an article being accepted for publication. Moreover being a multi-specialty journal an article concerning a particular specialty has a wider reach of readers of other related specialties also. As an author and reviewer for several years I find this Journal most suitable and highly recommend this Journal."

Dr. Mamta Gupta,
"It gives me great pleasure to be associated with JCDR, since last 2-3 years. Since then I have authored, co-authored and reviewed about 25 articles in JCDR. I thank JCDR for giving me an opportunity to improve my own skills as an author and a reviewer.
It 's a multispecialty journal, publishing high quality articles. It gives a platform to the authors to publish their research work which can be available for everyone across the globe to read. The best thing about JCDR is that the full articles of all medical specialties are available as pdf/html for reading free of cost or without institutional subscription, which is not there for other journals. For those who have problem in writing manuscript or do statistical work, JCDR comes for their rescue.
The journal has a monthly publication and the articles are published quite fast. In time compared to other journals. The on-line first publication is also a great advantage and facility to review one's own articles before going to print. The response to any query and permission if required, is quite fast; this is quite commendable. I have a very good experience about seeking quick permission for quoting a photograph (Fig.) from a JCDR article for my chapter authored in an E book. I never thought it would be so easy. No hassles.
Reviewing articles is no less a pain staking process and requires in depth perception, knowledge about the topic for review. It requires time and concentration, yet I enjoy doing it. The JCDR website especially for the reviewers is quite user friendly. My suggestions for improving the journal is, more strict review process, so that only high quality articles are published. I find a a good number of articles in Obst. Gynae, hence, a new journal for this specialty titled JCDR-OG can be started. May be a bimonthly or quarterly publication to begin with. Only selected articles should find a place in it.
An yearly reward for the best article authored can also incentivize the authors. Though the process of finding the best article will be not be very easy. I do not know how reviewing process can be improved. If an article is being reviewed by two reviewers, then opinion of one can be communicated to the other or the final opinion of the editor can be communicated to the reviewer if requested for. This will help one’s reviewing skills.
My best wishes to Dr. Hemant Jain and all the editorial staff of JCDR for their untiring efforts to bring out this journal. I strongly recommend medical fraternity to publish their valuable research work in this esteemed journal, JCDR".

"I wish to thank Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), for asking me to write up few words.
Writing is the representation of language in a textual medium i e; into the words and sentences on paper. Quality medical manuscript writing in particular, demands not only a high-quality research, but also requires accurate and concise communication of findings and conclusions, with adherence to particular journal guidelines. In medical field whether working in teaching, private, or in corporate institution, everyone wants to excel in his / her own field and get recognised by making manuscripts publication.


Authors are the souls of any journal, and deserve much respect. To publish a journal manuscripts are needed from authors. Authors have a great responsibility for producing facts of their work in terms of number and results truthfully and an individual honesty is expected from authors in this regards. Both ways its true "No authors-No manuscripts-No journals" and "No journals–No manuscripts–No authors". Reviewing a manuscript is also a very responsible and important task of any peer-reviewed journal and to be taken seriously. It needs knowledge on the subject, sincerity, honesty and determination. Although the process of reviewing a manuscript is a time consuming task butit is expected to give one's best remarks within the time frame of the journal.
Salient features of the JCDR: It is a biomedical, multidisciplinary (including all medical and dental specialities), e-journal, with wide scope and extensive author support. At the same time, a free text of manuscript is available in HTML and PDF format. There is fast growing authorship and readership with JCDR as this can be judged by the number of articles published in it i e; in Feb 2007 of its first issue, it contained 5 articles only, and now in its recent volume published in April 2011, it contained 67 manuscripts. This e-journal is fulfilling the commitments and objectives sincerely, (as stated by Editor-in-chief in his preface to first edition) i e; to encourage physicians through the internet, especially from the developing countries who witness a spectrum of disease and acquire a wealth of knowledge to publish their experiences to benefit the medical community in patients care. I also feel that many of us have work of substance, newer ideas, adequate clinical materials but poor in medical writing and hesitation to submit the work and need help. JCDR provides authors help in this regards.
Timely publication of journal: Publication of manuscripts and bringing out the issue in time is one of the positive aspects of JCDR and is possible with strong support team in terms of peer reviewers, proof reading, language check, computer operators, etc. This is one of the great reasons for authors to submit their work with JCDR. Another best part of JCDR is "Online first Publications" facilities available for the authors. This facility not only provides the prompt publications of the manuscripts but at the same time also early availability of the manuscripts for the readers.
Indexation and online availability: Indexation transforms the journal in some sense from its local ownership to the worldwide professional community and to the public.JCDR is indexed with Embase & EMbiology, Google Scholar, Index Copernicus, Chemical Abstracts Service, Journal seek Database, Indian Science Abstracts, to name few of them. Manuscriptspublished in JCDR are available on major search engines ie; google, yahoo, msn.
In the era of fast growing newer technologies, and in computer and internet friendly environment the manuscripts preparation, submission, review, revision, etc and all can be done and checked with a click from all corer of the world, at any time. Of course there is always a scope for improvement in every field and none is perfect. To progress, one needs to identify the areas of one's weakness and to strengthen them.
It is well said that "happy beginning is half done" and it fits perfectly with JCDR. It has grown considerably and I feel it has already grown up from its infancy to adolescence, achieving the status of standard online e-journal form Indian continent since its inception in Feb 2007. This had been made possible due to the efforts and the hard work put in it. The way the JCDR is improving with every new volume, with good quality original manuscripts, makes it a quality journal for readers. I must thank and congratulate Dr Hemant Jain, Editor-in-Chief JCDR and his team for their sincere efforts, dedication, and determination for making JCDR a fast growing journal.
Every one of us: authors, reviewers, editors, and publisher are responsible for enhancing the stature of the journal. I wish for a great success for JCDR."

Dr. Shankar P.R.

"On looking back through my Gmail archives after being requested by the journal to write a short editorial about my experiences of publishing with the Journal of Clinical and Diagnostic Research (JCDR), I came across an e-mail from Dr. Hemant Jain, Editor, in March 2007, which introduced the new electronic journal. The main features of the journal which were outlined in the e-mail were extensive author support, cash rewards, the peer review process, and other salient features of the journal.
Over a span of over four years, we (I and my colleagues) have published around 25 articles in the journal. In this editorial, I plan to briefly discuss my experiences of publishing with JCDR and the strengths of the journal and to finally address the areas for improvement.
My experiences of publishing with JCDR: Overall, my experiences of publishing withJCDR have been positive. The best point about the journal is that it responds to queries from the author. This may seem to be simple and not too much to ask for, but unfortunately, many journals in the subcontinent and from many developing countries do not respond or they respond with a long delay to the queries from the authors 1. The reasons could be many, including lack of optimal secretarial and other support. Another problem with many journals is the slowness of the review process. Editorial processing and peer review can take anywhere between a year to two years with some journals. Also, some journals do not keep the contributors informed about the progress of the review process. Due to the long review process, the articles can lose their relevance and topicality. A major benefit with JCDR is the timeliness and promptness of its response. In Dr Jain's e-mail which was sent to me in 2007, before the introduction of the Pre-publishing system, he had stated that he had received my submission and that he would get back to me within seven days and he did!
Most of the manuscripts are published within 3 to 4 months of their submission if they are found to be suitable after the review process. JCDR is published bimonthly and the accepted articles were usually published in the next issue. Recently, due to the increased volume of the submissions, the review process has become slower and it ?? Section can take from 4 to 6 months for the articles to be reviewed. The journal has an extensive author support system and it has recently introduced a paid expedited review process. The journal also mentions the average time for processing the manuscript under different submission systems - regular submission and expedited review.
Strengths of the journal: The journal has an online first facility in which the accepted manuscripts may be published on the website before being included in a regular issue of the journal. This cuts down the time between their acceptance and the publication. The journal is indexed in many databases, though not in PubMed. The editorial board should now take steps to index the journal in PubMed. The journal has a system of notifying readers through e-mail when a new issue is released. Also, the articles are available in both the HTML and the PDF formats. I especially like the new and colorful page format of the journal. Also, the access statistics of the articles are available. The prepublication and the manuscript tracking system are also helpful for the authors.
Areas for improvement: In certain cases, I felt that the peer review process of the manuscripts was not up to international standards and that it should be strengthened. Also, the number of manuscripts in an issue is high and it may be difficult for readers to go through all of them. The journal can consider tightening of the peer review process and increasing the quality standards for the acceptance of the manuscripts. I faced occasional problems with the online manuscript submission (Pre-publishing) system, which have to be addressed.
Overall, the publishing process with JCDR has been smooth, quick and relatively hassle free and I can recommend other authors to consider the journal as an outlet for their work."

Abstract

A supernumerary tooth may closely resemble the teeth of the group to which it belongs, i.e molars, premolars, or anterior teeth or it may bear little resemblance in size or shape to the teeth with which it is associated. It has been suggested that supernumerary teeth develop from a third tooth bud which arises from the dental lamina near the permanent tooth bud or possibly from the splitting of the permanent tooth bud itself. In some cases, there appears to be a hereditary tendency for the development of supernumerary teeth. A supernumerary tooth is an additional entity to the normal series and is seen in all quadrantsof the jaw.

The incidence of these teeth is not uncommon. Different variants of supernumerary teeth are discussed and reviewed in detail in the following article.

Keywords

Supernumerary Teeth, Mesiodens, Upper Distomolar

A supernumerary tooth (or hyperodontia) is defined as an increase in the number of teeth in a given individual, i.e., more than 20 deciduous or temporary teeth and over 32 teeth in the case of the permanent dentition (1), (2).

Supernumerary teeth are a rare alteration in the development of the maxillas which can appear in any part of the maxillas and can affect any tooth. They can be associated with a syndrome or they can be found in nonsyndromic patients (3), (4).

The aetiology of hyperdontia is still uncertain. A hereditary component has been suggested (5)(6)(7) and current genetic studies have revealed the possible intervention of ectodine as an inhibitor protein against the third dentition (8)(9)(10). The incidence of supernumerary teeth varies between 0.45-3%, depending on the literature source and is more common in females than in males (proportion 2:1) (11), (12).

While such teeth may be found in any region of the dental arch, they are more commonly located in the maxillary midline where they are referred to as mesiodens, representing 80% of all the supernumerary teeth(13), (14).

This location is followed in the decreasing order of frequency by four molars or the upper distomolars, the upper paramolars and proportionately far behind by the lower premolars, the upper lateral incisors, the lower fourth molars and the lower central incisors. The upper premolars are exceptional as are the upper and lower canines and the lower lateral incisors(15).

Regarding the aetiology of the supernumerary teeth, most authors point to phylogenetic factors specifically hyperactivity within the dental lamina which causes the appearance of additional dental buds (16), (17). Clinically, supernumerary teeth are able to cause different local disorders, including retention of the primary tooth, delayed eruption of the permanent tooth, ectopic eruptions, tooth displacements, follicular cysts and other alterations which require surgical or orthodontic intervention (18), (19).

The extraction of these teeth is a general rule for avoiding complications(15). Nevertheless, some authors such as Koch et al (20) do not recommend the extractions of impacted teeth in children under 10 years of age since in this particular age group, such procedures often require general anaesthesia. Kruger (21) considers that the extraction of supernumerary teeth should be postponed until the apexes of the adjacent teeth have sealed. According to Donado (22), treatment should be provided as soon as possible in order to avoid the displacement and delayed eruption of the permanent teeth.

CASE HISTORY 1
A 17 year old apparently healthy male patient visited our department with a history of deposits on his teeth and wanted to get them cleaned. On intraoral examination, the entire soft tissues appeared to be normal. The hard tissue examination revealed the presence of an extra tooth (suplementary tooth) distal to lateral incisor, but on the buccal side on both sides of the (Table/Fig 1) in the upper jaw. (Table/Fig 1)The lateral incisors on both the sides were found to be palatally erupting (Table/Fig 2).

The upper right side quadrant showed that the first molar was missing. The upper left quadrant showed retained canine. When the tooth number was counted from canine to canine, there should be 6 teeth but here, 8 teeth were there. Then, the patient was subjected to radiography to differentiate this extra tooth from the fusion or the gemination. Orthopantomography (Table/Fig 3) showed that the extra supplementary teeth appeared single and that they were not related to the adjacent tooth but resembled the adjacent canine; hence, they were called as supplementary teeth. Again, as both the teeth were asymptomatic, they were kept under observation. (Table/Fig 3)

CASE HISTORY 2
A 52 year old apparently healthy male patient visited our department with a history of decayed tooth. On intraoral examination, the entire soft tissues appeared to be normal. The hard tissue examination revealed the presence of an extra tooth (suplementary tooth) distal to lateral incisor (Table/Fig 4), (Table/Fig 5) on both sides of the upper anterior quadrant. Here also the number of teeth from canine to canine, was 8.i.e Hperdontia noted here also. (Table/Fig 4), (Table/Fig 5).

Then, the patient was subjected to radiography to differentiate this from the fusion or the gemination. Orthopantomography (Table/Fig 6) showed that the extra supplementary teeth appeared single and that they were not related to the adjacent tooth but resembled the adjacent lateral incisor; hence, they were called supplementary teeth. Again, as both the teeth were asymptomatic, they were kept under observation. (Table/Fig 6)

CASE HISTORY 3
A 24 year old apparently healthy Army candidate visited our department with a history of food lodgement in the upper right posterior quadrant. On intraoral examination, the entire soft tissues appeared to be normal. The hard tissue examination revealed the presence of an extra tooth on the buccal side of 18, which was called as a perimolar tooth (supernumerary tooth) (Table/Fig 7).

Deep probing between the supernumerary tooth and 18 revealed a catch and carious lesion, with a supernumerary tooth. As the tooth was placed on the buccal side, he underwent occlusal radiography(Table/Fig 8), but the findings were not very contributory. Then, the patient underwent the extraction of this symptomatic supernumerary tooth. (Table/Fig 8)




Discussion

Several researchers have also proposed that multiple supernumerary teeth are the part of a post permanent dentition (23), (24).

The exact mode of inheritance has not been established. However, a familial tendency has been noted (12), (25). It has been stated that the development of supernumerary teeth may cause various pathologies. Approximately 75% of the supernumerary teeth are impacted and asymptomatic and most of these teeth are diagnosed coincidentally during radiographical examination (6). In a survey on 2,000 schoolchildren, Brook (26) found that supernumerary teeth were present in 0.8% of the primary dentition and in 2.1% of the permanent dentition. The occurrence may be single or multiple, unilateral or bilateral, erupted or impacted and in one or both the jaws. Supernumerary teeth are classified according to the morphology and location as conical, tuberculate, supplemental and odontome (26).

Conical teeth are small peg shaped teeth which are most commonly found in the permanent dentition. The tuberculate type possesses more than one cusp or tubercle. It is frequently described as barrel- shaped and may be invaginated. The supplemental supernumerary teeth refer to a duplication of the teeth in the normal series and are found at the end of the tooth series. The most common supplemental tooth is the permanent maxillary lateral incisor but supplemental premolars and molars can also occur. Odontome has been listed as the fourth category of the supernumerary teeth by Howard. Supernumerary teeth are infrequent developmental alterations that may manifest in any zone of the dental arches and may involve any tooth; they may be associated to syndromes or can also be found in non-syndromic populations (27).

According to the consulted literature sources, the frequency of supernumerary teeth has been found to vary according to the population which is studied, ie. between 0.1-3.8% (28)(29)(30) and this has been found to reach up to 28% in patients with cleft palate and harelip (31).

According to Salcido-Garcia et al (27), the appearance of supernumerary teeth is more frequent in the first three decades of life than in the older age groups. However, in studies on adult populations, the frequencies have been found to be lower (between 0.4% and 1%) with an increased location in the maxilla, though they can also occur in the posterior sectors of the arch (32)(33)(34)(35).

The principal location of the supernumerary teeth is the premaxillary zone (mesiodens) in children and the distomolar in adults.Most authors consider the most common mechanical accident to be the reason for delayed eruption of the adjacent teeth (15), (36).

Conclusion

Early diagnosis is important in order to minimize the risk of complications resulting from supernumerary teeth. If they have caused delay or non-eruption of the permanent teeth, displacement of the permanent teeth and root resorption of the adjacent teeth due to pressure and cystic formations, then extraction is recommended.

However, the extraction of asymptomatic supernumerary teeth that does not affect the dentition may not always be necessary but these teeth should be followed through periodic examinations. The one and two patients in this study were kept under Observation, whereas the third patient presented with supernumerary tooth (decayed) underwent extraction of the same.

Key Message

A supernumerary tooth (or hyperodontia) is defined as an increase in the number of teeth in a given individual.
