Pseudo-Symeon

Pseudo-Symeon is a rare dental condition where a person develops extra or abnormal teeth resembling the Symeon tooth, typically a supernumerary or accessory tooth. Unlike normal teeth, these may appear outside the usual dental arch or in unusual positions, often causing crowding or misalignment. The term "pseudo" indicates that these teeth mimic Symeon teeth but are not true forms. They result from developmental anomalies during tooth formation, and treatment usually involves careful assessment and extraction if they interfere with normal dental health or alignment.
