| Abstract |
|
Mesiodens are supernumerary teeth in the region of the maxillary central incisors, a condition which can lead to disorders of the dentition. Their presence may lead to disorders, such as delay in eruption of permanent teeth, development of dentigerous cysts, resorption of adjacent roots and eruption of a supernumerary tooth into nasal cavity. The optimal time for surgical intervention is controversial. Early diagnosis is important so as to enable good prognosis. Diagnosis primarily depends on x-ray films. Panorama film, occlusal film, periapical film have been used for detection of mesiodens. But, all of them have disadvantages. SCANORA® is a multimodal radiology system which utilizes the principles of narrow beam radiology and spiral tomography. Pre-programmed imaging procedure are provided for many dental situations An optional personal computer can be connected into the unit to help design the examination. We report two cases diagnosed by SCANORA®. When compared with tube shift technique, it is simple and exact method of detecting mesiodens. |
