Management of Unerupted Central and Lateral Incisors complicated by a Mesiodens: Report of a case
J. Burton Douglass, DMD, MSD

An eight-year-old male was referred to a clinic with a diagnosis of transposition of a central and lateral incisor. Radiographs revealed what appeared to be transposition of teeth 1.2 and 1.1 complicated by a supernumerary tooth. Further investigation and literature review suggested that the child had a mesiodens and an ectopicady erupting central incisor. The mesiodens was extracted and the incisors brought into alignment. The orthodontic management of the case is discussed.
