Abstract: Supernumerary teeth which is also known as Hyperdontia is a common developmental dental anomaly in which there is an increase in the number of teeth beyond the normal set of teeth. Supernumerary teeth are more common in men as compared to women and are seen in permanent dentition more often than in primary dentition. Mesiodens is the most prevalent type of supernumerary tooth observed in the human population which is generally found in the maxillary anterior region. Unilateral occurrence is the predominant pattern of mesiodens, while bilateral presentation is very rare. Mesiodens may vary in morphology from small rudimentary conical shape to complex form with multiple tubercles. This paper presents a rare case of bilateral rudimentary mesiodentes present palatally in maxillary central incisor region causing functional problems. This article aims to present a rare case of bilateral rudimentary mesiodens in a non-syndromic patient.
