“…The latter causes the concomitant tearing of the nasal mucosa, and subsequent epistaxis, nasal obstruction and the sensation of a foreign object in the airway [10][11][12]. Here, extraction of mesiodens is advised due to these potential complications, as well as their possible interference in the development of permanent teeth and the orthodontic movement of adjacent teeth [7]. Various procedures have been described for mesiodens avulsion, including the conventional buccal and palatal approaches6.…”

“…Those supernumerary teeth located in the anterior maxilla region are referred to as mesiodens [1][2][3][4][5]. In some cases, gaining physical access to mesiodens is complicated by their close proximity to permanent teeth, or their location adjacent to important anatomical structures, such as nerves or blood vessels [6,7]. In these cases, 3D imaging techniques (computed tomography or cone beam computed tomography) can be of great help to define the exact position of these supernumerary teeth [4].…”

To outline a technique for the extraction of mesiodens through the nasal cavities and discuss its advantages and disadvantages, as well as specific recommendations and possible complications.Patients and Methods: A retrospective study was conducted in which clinical records from March -December 2015 were screened for patients diagnosed with mesiodens. Patients were excluded if they presented disorders associated with increased prevalence of supernumerary teeth. To effectively compare the different treatment approaches used, a variety of data was collected with special emphasis on complications.Results: Nine patients (four male, five female; average age 10.4 ± 1.7 years) fulfilled the described inclusion and exclusion criteria.Data analysis revealed that there were no intra-operative complications, nor were complications reported upon follow-up for any of the utilised (classical and vestibular-nasal) approaches. Conclusion:When applied under the correct circumstances, the here presented nasal approach technique improves various aspects for mesiodens extraction, including better visibility and facilitates the technique.
