Aim A mesiodens is the most frequent type of supernumerary tooth. They can be related to several complications, such as ectopic eruption and midline diastema. The aim of the present study was to assess the radiographic properties of mesiodens by analyzing the associated age, sex distribution, number of mesiodens per patient, shape, direction of eruption, and their association with complications. Methods The present study was performed using panoramic radiographs of 14 400 pediatric patients (4‐14 years old) who visited the Department of Pediatric Dentistry at Gaziosmanpasa University for a variety of dental complaints from 2015 to 2018. Results There were 82 mesiodens diagnosed in a total of 71 patients. Among the 82 mesiodens, 51 (62.1%) were conical in shape, which was the most commonly seen shape, followed by 14 supplemental (17.07%), and 12 (14.6%) tuberculate. Of the 82 mesiodens, 65 (79.2%) were aligned vertically, nine (10.9%) were inverted, and eight (9.7%) were horizontally placed. Clinical complications were observed in 76.8% of patients. Conclusion The management of mesiodens can be performed using three methods: (a) spontaneous eruption; (b) early intervention; and (c) delayed intervention. However, the management of mesiodens should be evaluated on an individual basis to determine the best treatment method. Mesiodens‐associated complications should be addressed prior to the lateral incisors erupting.

Supernumerary teeth as mesiodentes in adults are a rare condition. Given that mesiodentes often interfere with the eruption of normal permanent incisors, the majority are diagnosed in teenagers. In some cases, this pathology is associated with the presence of a dentigerous cyst. Imaging techniques play a significant role in the diagnosis of cysts, particularly cone beam computed tomography (CBCT). Once the correct diagnosis is established, appropriate therapeutic measures – usually surgical – should be initiated promptly. The case presented here is that of a 55-year-old male with an extensive dentigerous cyst arising from a maxillary mesiodens. The decision was made to perform enucleation of the cyst along with the mesiodens inside it. The procedure was performed under general anesthesia. No complications were observed in the postoperative period. The histopathology report confirmed a dentigerous cyst. Radiograph images obtained 10 months postsurgery showed spontaneous bone tissue reconstruction.
