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.

Resumo

O presente estudo teve por objetivo discorrer sobre a etiologia, diagnóstico, prevalência e tratamento do mesiodente baseado em evidência científica atual. Ao apresentar dois casos clínicos, de pacientes da Clínica de Odontopediatria da instituiçao de origem, ambos com queixas de insatisfação com o sorriso por apresentarem “dentes estranhos”. Após o diagnóstico clínico, radiográfico e tomográfico foi diagnosticada a presença de dentes supranumerários (mesiodens). O tratamento consistiu na remoção cirúrgica dos dentes e posterior encaminhamento à Ortodontia para atuar de forma a devolver estética e função adequadas. A remoção de mesiodentes em crianças tem por finalidade evitar possíveis distúrbios estéticos e funcionais decorrentes da presença da patologia aliados ao prognóstico favorável em tenra idade.
