In the mandibular premolar area, supernumerary teeth are a rare disorder that are rarely documented in the literature. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the post-surgical problems associated with the buccal and lingual techniques used to treat the extra teeth in this area. Using PubMed, PubMed Central, Science Direct, Cochrane, Wiley, and manual search, a thorough search was done to locate and identify cases and case series with extra teeth in the mandibular premolar region. For every study that was included, data on the surgical technique and postoperative problems were documented. Seven studies involving 90 patients were included. Supernumerary teeth in the mandibular premolar region were predominantly found in male patients (65.55 %), with most cases occurring in the right mandibular region (77.16 %). Postoperative complications after removing supernumerary teeth using buccal and lingual approaches were similar, with only one complication reported among the 90 cases reviewed. Although the findings suggest that surgical management of supernumerary teeth in the mandibular premolar region is relatively safe, caution is advised due to the limited sample size. Detailed pre-operative evaluation, a comprehensive treatment plan, and regular follow-up can minimize postoperative complications.
