Teeth have different morphologies, and they vary in number. The most common supernumerary tooth is the mesiodens, usually seen between the upper two central incisors, which may be impacted or erupted. The present case describes the case report of a 12-year-old male child with two mesiodens, where one was erupted clinically and the other was impacted palatally, which was detected on radiographic examination for some other problem. The treatment aimed at correct localization, surgical management of the erupted and impacted mesiodens, and interceptive correction of malaligned incisors.
