A dentist in Chennai, India has removed 526 miniature teeth from the mouth of a seven-year-old boy. The boy complained to his mother that he had toothaches. She took the boy to a dentist, who found the boy had hundreds of tiny teeth in a sac (a small, empty space) inside the boy's jaw. The sac was near the molar area at the back of the jaw. Professor Pratibha Ramani, the head of a dental department at the hospital, spoke to reporters about the surgery the little boy had. She told reporters: "The teeth were of variable sizes that ranged from the smallest at 0.1mm to the largest at 3mm. They all had a small crown, enamel and a small root." She said the boy suffered from a very rare dental problem.

印度金奈的一名牙医从一名7岁男孩的嘴里取出了526颗微型牙齿。那男孩向他母亲抱怨说他牙疼。她带小男孩去看牙医，牙医发现小男孩的下巴里有几百颗小牙齿。囊位于下颌后部的臼齿区附近。医院牙科部门的负责人Pratibha Ramani教授对记者谈到了小男孩的手术。她告诉记者:“这些牙齿大小不一，最小的只有0.1毫米，最大的只有3毫米。它们都有一个小冠，珐琅和一个小根。”她说这个男孩患有一种非常罕见的牙齿问题。

The operation to remove the tiny teeth from the boy's jaw took over five hours. Professor Ramani spoke about how her team of surgeons removed the teeth. She said: "We had to drill down into the top of the lower jaw, make a window and remove the sac." She added: "As the sac was going deeper into the tissue, the size of the teeth was becoming very small." Despite having over 500 teeth in his jaw, the boy did not suffer a lot of pain. Ms Ramani said: "We had to take a lot of counseling sessions with him for him to undergo surgery. We have a very good counseling team who have expertise in dealing with kids." The boy now has 21 teeth. He is doing well and is no longer in pain.

从男孩的下巴上取出小牙齿的手术花了5个多小时。拉马尼教授谈到了她的外科医生团队是如何摘除这些牙齿的。她说:“我们必须钻到下颚的顶部，开一个口，然后把卵囊取出来。”她补充说:“随着囊袋深入组织，牙齿变得非常小。”尽管这个男孩的下巴上有500多颗牙齿，但他并没有遭受太多的痛苦。拉马尼女士说:“为了让他接受手术，我们不得不和他进行了很多沟通。我们有一个非常好的咨询团队，他们在处理孩子方面很有经验。”这个男孩现在有21颗牙齿。他现在很好，不再痛苦了。
