The presence of mesiodens can cause some clinical problems. This paper reports a case of delayed eruption of permanent central incisors in a nine-year-old male as a consequence of a mesiodens and three surgical approaches prior to the eruption of incisors, which occurred after the third surgery when the crown was exposed and submitted to a gentle luxation.

The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of hypodontia, hyperodontia, and double formation of primary teeth in Icelandic children in the dental stage DS 02 (primary dentition complete). The study group comprised 927 children (498 boys and 429 girls). This was about 9% of all children aged 0-83 months in Reykjavik at the time of the registration of these anomalies, during the winter of 1978-1979. The children included those presenting for regular examinations in two health centers, children from three kindergartens, and seven pre-school classes from two schools in Reykjavik. Of these children 61.9% were selected for this study as they proved to be in dental stage DS 02 (primary teeth fully erupted). The prevalences were hypodontia, 0.5%; hyperodontia, 0.5%; and double formation, 0.7%. Comparison was made with earlier results from Iceland and with results from several other nations.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the extent of the incisal suture, the size of the premaxillary area, and the developmental status of the dentition. Sixty-three medieval crania were examined: 30 from children and 33 from adults, including 5 cases with tooth deviations. All crania were photographed at a 1:1 scale. From the photographs the size of the premaxilla and the length of the incisal suture were measured. In addition, the spatial conditions in the anterior region were recorded. The study showed that the main closure of the suture takes place shortly after the crowns of the permanent incisors have attained their final width size. The mean size of the premaxillary area was larger in individuals with interincisal spacing and smaller in individuals with crowding when comparing with normal spatial conditions. In the cases of tooth agenesis the premaxillary areas were markedly reduced.
Although impaction of a permanent tooth is rarely diagnosed during the mixed dentition period, an impacted central incisor is usually diagnosed accurately when there is delay in the eruption of tooth. In this article, the impacted incisor was moved into it's proper position with surgical exposure and orthodontic traction, after which it showed good stability.
A fourth pair of mandibular molars in a white-tailed deer(Odocoileus virginianus) was located posterior to the third pair. There was a distinct gap between the third and fourth molars on both left and right sides.

Dental, radiological, dermatoglyphic and genetic findings of a patient showing inverted impaction of a mesiodens are presented. It is probable that the inversion of the mesiodens was caused by contact of the incisal edge of the crown of the mesiodens by the apex of the root of the erupting right maxillary central incisor tooth.

Presented here is a case of 7 years 6 month old child with an apically impacted mesiodens in relation to the developing root of right upper central incisor. The removal of mesiodens was deferred in order to avoid disturbance in the natural development of the upper central incisor. Serial X-rays are presented and case is discussed.
