Supernumerary teeth, particularly mesiodens, are common dental anomalies. This study details a rare symptomatic case and advocates for targeted radiographic screening in families with a history of dental anomalies.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Pediatric Dentistry

Background:

  • Supernumerary teeth are common dental anomalies impacting eruption.
  • Mesiodens, located in the anterior maxilla, is the most frequent type.
  • These anomalies can lead to various clinical complications.

Observation:

  • A rare symptomatic case of mesiodens is presented.
  • The case highlights diagnostic challenges and potential complications.
  • Clinical presentation and management strategies are discussed.

Findings:

  • Mesiodens can present with diverse and sometimes severe clinical manifestations.
  • Radiographic examination is crucial for diagnosis and treatment planning.
  • Early detection and intervention are key to preventing complications.

Implications:

  • The findings support a targeted approach to radiographic screening for dental anomalies.
  • Screening should prioritize individuals with a family history of number anomalies.
  • This strategy optimizes resource allocation and minimizes unnecessary radiation exposure.
