Mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth present in the midline between the two central incisors. It usually results in oral problems such as malocclusion, food impaction, poor aesthetics, and cyst formation. Mesiodens is the most prevalent form of supernumerary teeth in permanent dentition that occurs as a result of genetic and environmental factors and hyperactivity of dental lamina.🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷🦷
Diagnosis of mesiodens can be done by clinical and radiographic examination and extraction of mesiodens in the early mixed dentition helps spontaneous alignment of the adjacent teeth. If the permanent incisors fail to erupt as in our case spontaneously, further surgical and orthodontic treatment will be required.
