Abstract
Mesiodens is a common developmental anomaly characterized by the presence of one or more supernumerary teeth in the maxillary midline region. However, inverted mesiodens, where the tooth crown points towards the nasal cavity, is a rare variation of this condition. This paper aims to present a case study of a 7 years old male patient with inverted mesiodens and aspects of treatment, successful management and aetiology of this unique dental anomaly.
