Abstrakt: This paper presents two cases in which supplemental premolars were an incidental finding. Although anomalies of tooth number and form are quite common, both cases demonstrate late forming supernumeraries with one case illustrating their development in a more unusual site. It is not routine practice to screen for late development of teeth during orthodontic treatment. Therefore the possibility of their interference with occlusal development or orthodontic mechanics such as space closure, should always be kept in mind.
