standard tooth numbering systems denote only normal dentition (central incisors to molars) but when you need to incorporate presence of supernumerary teeth in case records there is no standardized system.
Dear Prashant,
I don't think it could exist, cause a supernumerary tooth is an anomaly that charts don't have (at least traditional).
Best regards and good luck.
Dear Prashant,
Yadav and Sonkurla have proposed a coding system for such teeth. See the attached article.
Best,
Claudia
Dear Prashant,
please have a look at this website:

Both the universal system and palmer notation system can indicate a supernumerary tooth located at a specific position.
The universal system uses an additional letter S to indicate a supernumerary tooth in the primary dentition. For instance, Tooth AS is a supernumerary tooth located adjacent to Tooth A. Supernumerary teeth in the permanent dentition are given corresponding codes from 51 to 82 as per the locations of the supernumerary teeth. Thus, Tooth 51 is a supernumerary tooth adjacent to Tooth 1, and Tooth 82 is a supernumerary tooth adjacent to Tooth 32.

The palmer system uses a dollar symbol $ to indicate a supernumerary tooth at any positions and dentitions.
