Abstract
Supernumerary teeth are considered to be one of the most significant dental anomalies affecting the primary and early mixed
dentition and may cause a variety of pathological disturbances to the developing permanent dentition and also resulting in poor
dental and facial esthetics. Mesiodens are the erupted or unerupted extra tooth in the midline of maxilla, along with normal
teeth (between the central incisors). Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are necessary for prevention of deleterious effects of
mesiodenson dentoalveolar structures. The aim of this case report is to share knowledge about management of mesiodens which
might assist the clinician in decision-making.
