If we combine the present case with those so far reported, there are 6 pairs of monozygotic twin brothers, and only 3 pairs of sisters. [webmedcentral.com]

Early diagnosis allows the most appropriate treatment, often reducing the extent of surgery, orthodontic treatment and possible complications. [cda-adc.ca]

The indication of surgical treatment of unerupted mesiodens is a widely accepted proposal that can avoid or reduce orthodontic treatment time. This guideline was followed in this case. [revodonto.bvsalud.org]

When this condition is discovered, the best treatment is to remove the extra tooth. [colgate.com]
