| Abstract | |
Mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth present in the maxillary anterior region between two central incisors. It may occur either as single or multiple and is commonly associated with disturbances in the eruption of maxillary incisors. The main objective of this case series was to assess the manifold morphology of mesiodens through clinical and radiographic evaluation of 47 patients. The various morphological forms observed in this cases series were conical, supplemental, and tuberculate forms. Thorough clinical and radiographic examination should be done for early detection and evaluation of these entities to prevent further complications. |
