Somy Agarwal | Sakshi Singh [5] | Ashish Sinha
Abstract: Mesiodens is the most common supernumerary tooth, occurring in 0.15?1.9% of the population. It can cause various complications like midline diastema, rotation, displacement, root resorption and cyst formation. It should be properly diagnosed for the appropriate management to reduce the complications to the developing dentition. In the present case, mesiodens was found in between the two maxillary central incisors. So, this case report features the management of erupted mesiodens that caused the rotation of the right maxillary central incisor in a 12 year old male who was treated successfully by fixed orthodontic treatment.
