Area of Science:

Dentistry
Otorhinolaryngology
Maxillofacial Surgery

Background:

Mesiodens are the most common type of supernumerary tooth, typically located in the premaxilla.
Impacted mesiodens can lead to various complications, including dental anomalies and facial deformities.

Observation:

A specific case involving an impacted mesiodens is presented.
The mesiodens significantly impacted the patient's nasal structure, causing a noticeable deformity.
A deviated nasal septum was also observed concurrently.

Findings:

The impacted mesiodens was the primary cause of the observed nasal deformity.
The supernumerary tooth directly contributed to the deviation of the nasal septum.

Implications:
