title: Delayed eruption of maxillary permanent central incisors as a consequence of mesiodens: a surgical re-treatment approach.
abstract: The presence of mesiodens can cause some clinical problems. This paper reports a case of delayed eruption of permanent central incisors in a nine-year-old male as a consequence of a mesiodens and three surgical approaches prior to the eruption of incisors, which occurred after the third surgery when the crown was exposed and submitted to a gentle luxation.
