Mesiodens are the supernumerary teeth present in the midline of the maxilla between the two central incisors. The present study seeks to investigate the prevalence of mesiodens among children in Balidih, India.

Test of association was done using Pearson’s Chi Square test and Cramer’s V. The results showed that the prevalence of mesiodens was 0.60% in the observed population. Males were significantly (P<0.05) affected approximately 0.80% while females were 0.30% of the total screened population. Significantly (P<0.05) higher children from the ages of ten to fourteen years (1.00%) presented with mesiodens than five to nine years (0.40%).
