Impacted and supernumerary teeth were analysed upon several items, such as incidences and positions in the dental arch. The result were as follows; 1. The incidences of impacted teeth were 59.05% and the ratio of upper jaw to lower one was 1:3. 2. The frequency of the supernumerary teeth were 5.52% and the ratio of maxilla to mandible was 49:1. 3. No significant differences between right and left side in both jaws, but incidence rate of the supernumerary teeth was 74% in the maxillary central incisor area. 4.
