Midline supernumerary tooth: Types -A synopsis of cases
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 5
Abstract
Mesiodens is the most common supernumerary tooth, located in the midline of maxilla. It may occur individually or as multiples, erupted or impacted, may erupt between central incisors causing diastema or palatal displacement of incisors. Mesiodens are classified into supplemental and rudimentary based on their shapes. Supplemental refers to supernumerary teeth of normal shape and size and may also be termed incisiform. Rudimentary defines teeth of abnormal shape and size including conical, tuberculate and molariform type. Mesiodentes are not caused by malocclusion, they may cause it. Therefore it is preferable to extract them as early as possible. We present here a series of cases of mesiodens which includes 3 cases of rudimentary type, 1 case of supplemental type and a case of double conical mesiodens, one erupted and one impacted. Keywords: Mesiodens; Maxillary; Impacted; Molariform; Conical, Supplemental.
