Identical unerupted maxillary incisors in monozygotic twins
(Mosby-Elsevier, 2010) Babacan, Hasan; Ozturk, Firat; Polat, Hidayet Burak
Mesiodens is the most common type of supernumerary tooth found in the premaxilla. It might be discovered by the orthodontist by chance on a radiograph or as the cause of an unerupted maxillary central incisor. The genetic transmission of supernumerary and impacted teeth is poorly understood. The occurrence of identical unerupted maxillary central incisors and mesiodentes in monozygotic twins suggests that genetic factors might influence the etiology of this problem. In this case report, we discuss the treatment of unerupted maxillary permanent incisors caused by mesiodentes in monozygotic twins. (Am J Orthod Dentofacial Orthop 2010;138:498-509)
