A Mesiodens in an 8 year old girl – a case report

The purpose of this article is to study the importance of radiographic localization prior to surgical intervention, as it is observed that in some instances a labial surgical approach is preferred over the traditional palatal technique. The present case report describes a labially positioned maxillary mid-line mesiodens in an 8-year-old girl. The outcome of the present study indicate that a labial surgical approach can be useful as it allows for greater conservation of alveolar bone and improved access during removal of the mesiodens.
