Inverted mesiodens is a disorder of Odontogenesis relatively characterized by an excess number of teeth in the premaxillary region, in between the central incisors and in an inverted direction. The etiology of inverted mesiodens is still unknown. The complications associated with inverted mesiodens include eruption disturbance of adjacent teeth, displacement & rotation of the central incisors, diastema, root resorption, abnormal occlusion, cyst formation or nasal eruption of the mesiodens. Early detection and timely surgical intervention of inverted mesiodens is crucial to prevent unwanted consequences. Dentigerous cysts are developmental cysts of odontogenic origin, which are found to surround the crown of unerupted/erupting teeth, odontomas or even supernumerary teeth. Dentigerous cysts' involving an inverted mesiodens is a rare occurrence with only few cases reported.This article reports a rare and unusual case of a dentigerous cyst of the anterior maxilla involving an inverted and fused mesiodens.

The most common form of supernumerary teeth is represented by the mesiodens. Very often, they are impacted, usually palatially, but can be found buccally or between the roots of the permanent central incisors. Their position can be normal, inclined, or inverted.

Nasal and paranasal sinus masses can arise from a wide range of conditions, both benign and malignant, as well as congenital or acquired. Diagnosing these masses is often challenging, requiring a combination of nasal endoscopy, imaging studies, and histopathological analysis. Initial imaging frequently involves computed tomography or cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) to evaluate the bony anatomy of the nasal cavity and surrounding sinuses, while magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is typically used for detailed assessment of soft tissues and to aid in differential diagnosis when the findings are inconclusive.

Objectives: This case series aims to introduce the nasal floor approach for extracting inverted mesiodens.
Materials And Methods: Through a retrospective chart review between January 2022 and February 2023, we included the mesiodens patients using nasal floor approach, and analysis the location of mesiodens from the anterior nasal spine (ANS), total operation time, and complications.
Results: Each mesiodens was located 10 to 12 mm from the ANS and was covered with a cortical layer of the nasal floor.

The aim of this study is to provide criteria for the choice of the surgical approach for extraction of high inverted mesiodens. The operation statistics, life quality of postoperative patients, and the operative injury/recovery were compared and analysed. The laser Doppler blood flowmetry, laser speckle contrast imaging, and electric pulp testing were explored to detect the postoperative pulp and gingiva blood supply of adjacent teeth.

Background: Mesiodentes are the most common supernumerary teeth. The cause is not fully understood, although proliferations of genetic factors and the dental lamina have been implicated. Mesiodentes can cause delayed or ectopic eruption of permanent incisors, which can further alter occlusion and appearance.
