Management of an erupted mesiodens causing severe displacement of maxillary permanent central incisor
Abstract Mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth occurring in the anterior maxilla, located between the maxillary central incisors. Extraction of a mesiodens at a time appropriate for promoting self-eruption in the early mixed dentition may result in better alignment of the teeth and may minimize the need for orthodontic treatment. This case report features management of erupted mesiodens which caused the permanent maxillary right central incisor to be displaced labially in a ten year old female who was treated successfully by timely intervention in her mixed dentition.
