RESUMO
Background: Hypergenetic molars are uncommon in children and adolescents. Furthermore, the presence of multiple eumorphic supernumerary molars (SNMs) in children is sporadic. The author, therefore, reports a nonsyndromic case of multiple supplemental SNMs in a child. Case description: A ten year old boy primarily complaining of cheek biting was found to have six molars on the maxillary left quadrant. Following investigations and case discussion, four molars and fibroma were surgically removed under general anesthesia. Discussion: This paper discusses the prevalence and management of SNMs in the pediatric population while documenting the first case of multiple eumorphic SNMs in the mixed dentition.

RESUMO
Children are particularly a challenging group of patients when trying to ensure the safe use of medicines. Their variable weight, body surface area and organ system maturity affect their ability to metabolize and excrete medications. In addition, there are few standardized dosing regimens for children, with most medication dosing requiring body weight calculations. These challenges in pediatric medication use contribute to an increased risk of medication errors including serious drug dosing errors. This manuscript addresses the pediatric dentists to focus on the issues related to pediatric medication.
