Multidisciplinary Treatment of Mesiodens Causing Delayed Tooth Eruption and Follow-Up: Report of Two Cases

Abstract

Mesiodens is a common dental anomaly. It is mostly observed in the upper anterior and lower premolar regions. Mesiodens' existence causes complications such as diastema, delayed eruption, rotation, root resorption, and dentigerous cyst formation. These cases aim to present the treatment and follow-up of mesiodens, which caused delayed tooth eruption.Mesiodens treatment is a controversial issue. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary treatment of the complicating mesiodens may prevent further orthodontic treatment.
