" 10/01/2014 - "The fact that premaxilla is the predilection site for the occurrence of supernumerary teeth, talon cusp, dens invaginatus, and geminated teeth may suggest that the embryological development of premaxilla differ from other sites of the jaws. " 10/01/2014 - "Double talon cusps on supernumerary tooth fused to maxillary central incisor: Review of literature and report of case." 01/01/2014 - "Labial and palatal talon cusp on the maxillary supernumerary tooth in a deciduous dentition."

4.	Transcription Factors (Transcription Factor)IBA 01/01/2014 - "Increased activity of each of the Fgf, Shh, and canonical Wnt signaling pathways revitalizes development of the physiologically arrested mouse diastemal tooth germs whereas constitutive activation of canonical Wnt signaling in the dental epithelium is able to induce supernumerary tooth formation even in the absence of Msx1 and Pax9, two transcription factors required for normal tooth development beyond the early bud stage. " 05/15/2011 - "We recently reported that the zinc finger transcription factor Osr2 was expressed in a lingual-to-buccal gradient pattern surrounding the developing mouse molar tooth germs and mice lacking Osr2 developed supernumerary teeth lingual to their molars.

8.	GoldIBA 07/01/2000 - "Standard orthodontic treatment involving removal of the supernumerary tooth, attaching a gold chain to the UR1 and treatment with fixed orthodontic appliances failed to bring the tooth down, until it was found that tough fibrous gingival tissue entwined in the gold chain had "ankylosed" the tooth. " 03/01/2004 - "Non-erupted permanent maxillary incisor teeth with near complete apical formation, associated with palatally placed, tuberculate-shaped supernumerary teeth, may benefit from having an orthodontic bracket and gold chain placed at the same time as the surgical procedure to remove the supernumerary tooth to facilitate future orthodontic traction."
