Description

The mesiodens, a surplus tooth, often requires removal to maintain proper orthodontic alignment. Careful radiological evaluation is essential to ensure an appropriate surgical approach is selected. This is the most important prerequisite for a simple, rapid, and atraumatic procedure for these mostly very young patients. Using a palatal approach, the viewer’s attention is drawn to critical areas. The wound is then sutured, and a healing plate is inserted to complete the procedure.
