Abstract
Mesiodens is the most commonly occurring supernumerary tooth between the two maxillary central incisors. Mesiodens can be inverted, impacted, or placed buccally or palatally between the two maxillary central incisors. It mostly occurs unilaterally and rarely occurs bilaterally. We describe a rare occurrence of such a bilateral inverted mesiodens extended near the anterior nasal spine, evaluated by cone-beam computed tomography.Entities:
