Sex, age, number of supernumerary teeth, location, position and morphology were recorded. It was found that 83% of the patients presented a single SN element and the rest two SN elements. When studying the location, it was found that 56% of the elements were located in the upper jaw and that 44% were mesiodents. A 37% were found in the paramolar position and the rest in other locations. The 17% of the cases studied had diastema and all cases were found in the mesodens and upper jaw.
