Sunil Nayak

Abstract

Supernumerary teeth are a relatively frequent disorder of odontogenesis characterized by an excess number of teeth. Mesiodens is the most common type of supernumerary teeth found in the premaxilla between the two central incisors. They can be supplemental (resembling natural teeth), conical, tuberculate, or molariform. We present a rare case of 41 year old male patient who presented with bilateral mesiodens. Key words: Mesiodens; supernumerary teeth; maxillary central incisor DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/bjms.v10i4.9503 BJMS 2011; 10 (4): 287-288
