title: Lower mesiodens: report of an unusual case.
abstract: This report describes a case of an 11 years old girl presenting a supernumerary tooth between lower central incisors. The case initially required only surgical treatment to remove the lower mesiodens. Sequentially, the patient was referred to an orthodontic therapy due to a presence of diastema.
