Mesiodens

This term refers to an excess tooth in the middle of the upper jaw. Whereas in the past, it was taught that excess teeth had to be extracted, today there is a more relaxed attitude towards them. As long as these teeth have no contact with the oral cavity, don’t  develop cysts and don’t hinder orthodontic treatment, they can be left where they are. However, a periodic check using a panoramic X-ray is generally justified.
