“…This period coincides with eruption time of maxillary central incisor and complications such as delayed eruption, crowding often leading to dental visits followed by radiographic examinations.Therefore it's logical that most mesiodens were discovered in this period. 11 Most of the mesiodens in our study were erupted in 54.7% cases similar to study by Sulabha et al 12 and impacted mesiodens were 45.3% which was lower than other studies in literature. 8,11,13 This may be explained by presence of large numbers of conical mesiodens which are more likely to erupt.…”

Background: A mesiodens, is the most frequent supernumerary tooth present in the maxillary central incisor region. This study is conducted to know the radiographic characteristics and management of mesiodens in children visiting hospital. Methods:A cross-sectional retrospective data collection was done from hospital dental records of children who visited the institution from December 2015-December 2016. Radiographic characteristic of mesiodens including the number, shape, position, direction of crown and complication caused by mesiodens were recorded. Data were analyzed using IBM SPSS v.20.0. Results:Out of 1871 dental records, it was found that 40 children had 53 mesiodens, with male female ratio of 3:1 and most of them were discovered at 8 years. Majority of mesiodens, 54.7% were erupted, conical, palatally placed with 77.3% vertically directed crown.Complications associated with it were crowding followed by diastema and delayed eruption. Among 40 children, one had three mesiodens, eleven had two mesiodens and rest had one each. Radiographically fully formed tooth was seen in 29 mesiodens. Immature apex was seen in 38 central incisors associated with mesiodens. Management undertaken was simple/surgical extraction and only few cases were kept for periodic observation. Conclusions:Periodic radiographs act as an important tool for clinicians in detecting and managing mesiodens.

“…Although the etiology of this condition remains to be understood, several theories have been developed in the past. Among them, the theory of dental lamina hyperactivity is still considered as the main reason for the development of mesiodens [1,3,4]. Several cases were shown to be associated with various craniofacial deformities, including cleft lip and palate, Down's syndrome, and cleidocranial dysostosis [3].…”

Several cases were shown to be associated with various craniofacial deformities, including cleft lip and palate, Down's syndrome, and cleidocranial dysostosis [3]. The mesiodens is commonly located at the midline of maxilla as a single, unerupted, and inverted entity.…”

“…Few studies have shown that mesiodens can be found in the mandible, being bilaterally multiple, already erupting, and growing vertically [2][3][4]. It occurs more frequently in men than in women, with a ratio of 2 : 1 [1][2][3][4][5]. The prevalence of mesiodens in general population is 0.15-13.9% [3].…”
