I had a patient today in the hospital, who came in with a complain of severe tooth ache. As I was giving him a general oral check up, I found the most amazing thing.....he actually had four premolars on one side.......a very rare case. Usually in a human mouth , we have a total of eight premolars, that is four in each jaw , two in each quadrant. This usually happens as a result of attempted division of a tooth bud, but a cluster of premolars, all well developed just on one side is indeed a rare thing to be seen. This patient had ten premolars, meaning his total number of teeth in his mouth was 34. A Mouth full of Teeth indeed !!!!!
