Abstract EN
Supernumerary teeth are defined as any teeth in excess of normal number.
Mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth, in the central region of premaxilla between two central incisors.
Dens invaginatus is a developmental anomaly resulting from invagination in the surface of tooth crown before calcification has occurred.
Radiographically, it is observed as infolding of a radioopaque ribbon like structure, with equal density as enamel, extending from cingulum into a root canal and sometimes reaching the root apex.
This paper aims to present a rare association of dens invaginatus with two mesiodentes in a child causing the eruption disturbance and unaesthetic appearance in anterior maxilla.
