Contact: +919837100900 Email: [email protected] Mesiodens is a type of supernumerary tooth located between maxillary central incisors. It is usually a small tooth with a coneor peg shaped crown and a short root. It may be single or paired, erupted or impacted and at times even inverted. The presence of a mesiodens should be suspected if there is delayed eruption of the permanent incisors or if the central incisors are displaced, malposed or exhibit spacing. Associated complications include crowding, displacement, root resorption, diastema, or dentigerous cyst formation. It is diagnosed through clinical and radiological examination using maxillary anterior periapical and panoramic radiography. In addition, maxillary occlusal radiography is highly recommended for all children with disturbance in maxilla. An 8 year-old male patient was brought to the dental department for routine checkup. Intraoral examination revealed irregular upper front teeth. Radiological evaluation revealed impacted mesiodens between maxillary central incisors. This case report describes an incidental finding of impacted mesiodens .
