Non-syndromic multiple Mesiodens: Two case reports
Journal Title: International Journal of Dentistry Research - Year 2016, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Any tooth appearing in any area of dental arch in addition to the regular number of teeth is called as supernumerary teeth and the condition is called as hyperdontia. Such teeth are most commonly found in pre-maxillary region, such teeth when present between two central incisors are called as mesiodens. The etiology of this condition is documented to be hereditary and also found to be associated with certain syndromes. Such teeth when present pose aesthetic or/and functional problem to the patient. The patients who reported to us, had no history of trauma or associated syndrome, came with a chief complaint of irregularly placed upper front teeth which did not look good and requested orthodontic treatment for the malalignment of their anterior teeth. The treatment options are further discussed.
