Diagnosis and treatment of supernumerary teeth in the pediatric clinic - case report

ABSTRACT The present study aimed to discuss the etiology, diagnosis, prevalence and treatment of mesiodens based on current scientific evidence. Two clinical cases of patients of the pediatric dentistry clinic, both with complaints of dissatisfaction with their smile for showing "strange teeth", were presented. After the clinical, radiographic and tomographic diagnosis, the presence of supernumerary teeth (mesiodens) was diagnosed. The treatment consisted in the surgical removal of the supernumerary teeth and subsequent referral to orthodontics to proceed towards recovering adequate aesthetics and function. The removal of mesiodens in children has the purpose of avoiding possible aesthetic and functional disorders resulting from the presence of the pathology allied to the favorable prognosis in early age.
