Agenesis of bilateral maxillary canines is very rare and mesiodens is a commonly occurring supernumerary tooth type. Concomitant occurrence of both hypodontia and hyperdontia is extremely rare and it is a condition of mixed numeric variation in the same individual. The reported prevalence of this condition ranges between 0.002% and 3.1%. The purpose of this case report is to describe a rare occ...

Variety of clinical complications occurs due to the presence of supernumerary teeth, especially mesiodens. It may result in impaction of one or both central incisors which in turn may lead to a variety of malocclusions. Timely intervention not only prevents malocclusion but also the time taken for corrective orthodontics. A complete case report of developing mesiodens' tooth germ resulting in m...

J. rauma to the human anterior primary dentition results in luxation injuries in 62-69% of the cases.The most common forms of injury to the anterior primary dentition are intrusion and extrusion. When there is complete intrusion of the primary tooth into the alveolar bone, the only way to differentiate between intrusion and avulsion is by radiographic examination. The following report describes...

Panoramic radiographs from 1026 patients were examined for the presence of completely impacted teeth. The prevalence of completely impacted teeth in the edentulous jaw was lower than that in the dentate jaw in both the upper and lower jaws. The prevalence of completely impacted third molars in the edentulous jaw was also lower than that in the dentate jaw. However, there was no difference in th...

Supernumerary teeth are considered as one of the most significant dental anomalies during the primary and early mixed dentition stages. They are of great concern to the dentists and parents because of the eruption, occlusal, and esthetic problems they can cause. Supernumerary teeth occur more frequently in the permanent dentition but rarely in primary dentition. Mesiodens is the most common typ...

BACKGROUND Dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) were primarily derived from the pulp tissues of primary incisors and permanent third molar teeth, whereas no report to our knowledge has yet been documented on deriving DPSCs from the other tooth types. The aim of this study is to present a novel approach of harvesting stem cells from a supernumerary tooth (a mesiodens). MATERIALS AND METHODS The pulp...

An alteration in the path of eruption of teeth or non-eruption is a frequent problem encountered in children. This is mainly seen in the upper incisors giving an unpleasant aesthetic and functional problem. This may be commonly attributed to the presence of a supernumerary tooth. Mesiodens is the most commonly occurring supernumerary tooth present in the premaxilla between the two central incis...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the three-dimensional characteristics mesiodens using Cone-beam Computed Tomography(CBCT) and analyze factors affecting complications anesthetic methods extraction. This evaluated 602 452 patients who underwent extraction at department Pediatric Dentistry in Seoul National University Dental Hospital between 2017 2019. ratio over total patient per yea...

Aquellos casos en que se excede la fórmula dentaria normal primaria de 20 dientes o definitiva 32 conocen como supernumerarios hiperodoncia. Los pueden presentar manera única múltiple y forma heteromórfica eumórfica. El supernumerario más prevalente es el mesiodens, da hombres, dentición permanente maxilar. Su etiología no está confirmada, pero puede deberse a una hiperactividad lámin...

supernumerary tooth is one of the developmental problems in children. mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth present in the midline between the two central incisors. it usually results in oral problems such as malocclusion, food impaction, poor aesthetics, and cyst formation. the prevalence of mesiodens varies between 0.09% and 2.05% in different studies. this paper reviews current literature on et...
