Management of Unusual Rotation of Maxillary Central Incisor with Impacted Mesiodens: Case Report.

Abstract

Supernumerary teeth are frequently found in the maxillary anterior region, largely in permanent dentition (rare in deciduous dentition). Shape of the supernumerary teeth may vary from conical, tueberculate, supplemental to odontome. Mesiodens is a conical type of supernumerary teeth located in the maxillary central incisor region and is generally unerupted. Presence of mesiodens may result in rotation, uneruption, or malalignment of adjacent maxillary incisors. In this article, we present a case report of unusual rotation of maxillary central incisor with impacted mesiodens.
