the boy with 526 teeth
A seven-year-old boy who had suffered occasional toothache was found to have 526 teeth inside his jaw, according to surgeons in India.
The hundreds of teeth were found inside a sac that was nestled in the
molar region of his lower jaw, following surgery carried out at the
Saveetha dental college and hospital in Chennai.
“The teeth were of variable sizes that ranged from smallest at 0.1mm
to largest 3mm. They had a small crown, enamel and a small root,” said
Pratibha Ramani, the head of the department of oral and maxillofacial
pathology at the hospital.
That's a lot of teeth in one person.
