Abstrakt:	Mesiodens are classified as supernumerary teeth located in the maxilla, specifically in the palatal region between the central incisors. The prevalence of this condition varies between 0.15% and 1.9% among individuals. The presence of mesiodens can potentially affect the normal growth and development of teeth, leading to delayed eruption of permanent teeth, displacement or rotation of adjacent teeth, root resorption, and infectious pulpitis. This report discusses the case of a 14-year-old male patient who presented with a palatally placed mesiodens, which was completely erupted in the oral cavity. The patient underwent extraction for the removal of the mesiodens, and the procedure was successful with no complications reported during or after surgery. Early identification and surgical removal of mesiodens are crucial to preventing potential orthodontic and functional complications. This case highlights the importance of regular dental checkups for diagnosing supernumerary teeth. Timely intervention can lead to favorable outcomes, as demonstrated in this patient.
