Mesiodens can cause dental complications such as disturbances in tooth eruption malposition malocclusion and spacing between central incisors. Diagnosis of mesiodens is based on clinical and radiographic examination. Treatment of choice is extraction, which can be devided as two methods of ; early tooth extraction before root of permanent central incisors is completely formed, and late tooth extraction after root of permanent central incisors is completely formed.
