Correct answer: D. More common in mandible

  • A. May have resemblance to normal teeth
  • B. Disto molars doesn't resemble any other tooth
  • C. Mesiodens is the most common supernumerary tooth
  • D. More common in mandible

Explanation

Supernumerary teeth occur more often in the maxilla, especially as mesiodens, so the statement that they are more common in the mandible is false. Disto-molars usually do not resemble a specific normal tooth, while mesiodens is the commonest type.
