Supernumerary teeth represent a significant dental anomaly that has a notable impact on the primary and early mixed dentition, potentially leading to pathological disturbances in the development of permanent dentition. Mesiodens specifically refers to an additional tooth (erupted/unerupted) present in the midline between the two central incisors. This article describes two cases involving the surgical extraction of inverted and impacted mesiodens by using a minimally invasive surgical approach in children.

Article Synopsis
- Concerns about mercury toxicity from amalgam fillings have led to the exploration of ayurvedically purified mercury (AP-Hg) as a potentially safer alternative for dental treatment.
- Human gingival fibroblasts (HGF) were tested with commercially available mercury (CA-Hg) and AP-Hg at various concentrations, and cell viability was assessed after 24 and 48 hours.
- Results showed that AP-Hg led to higher cell viability and less cytotoxicity compared to CA-Hg, particularly significant at lower concentrations and over a longer period.
