Abstract

A supernumerary tooth is outlined as an additional tooth in distinction to traditional series of the dentition.Mesiodens may cause permanent incisor eruption to be delayed or ectopic, altering occlusion and appearance:As a result, it is essential for a health professional to diagnose mesiodens early in its development stage in order to provide optimal and minimal management. Interceptive therapies should be started as soon as possible after the clinical diagnosis of an irregular eruption pattern. Surgical removal of
the mesiodens should be planned to avoid unfavourable outcomes.

Keywords: Mesiodens, Supernumerary, Diastema, Rotation.
