Abstract

Supernumerary teeth are extra teeth in comparison to normal dentition. It is more common in the central region of the upper or lower jaw. Morphologically, mesiodens may have heterogeneous forms. Three common types; namely, conical or peg shaped, tuberculate and supplemental (tooth like) have
been reported, of which the conical form is the most common type
The aim of this paper, through two case reports, is to show the anomalies that can be caused by supernumerary teeth and the preparation of the patient for future orthodontic therapy.
Case report: Through the presentation of two cases, we show how mesiodens is the cause of medial diastema.The clinical and X- Ray examinations confirmed the diagnosis. Thesurgical
interventions were performmed under local anesthesia for pulling out the supernumerary tooth. The extractions were made to prepare the patient for future orthodontic therapy.
Conclusion: Since mesiodens may cause orthodontic anomalies, regular clinical examinations and follow�up visits are recommended. Early diagnosis of a mesiodens minimizes treatment needs for orthodontic therapy.
