Introduction. Mesiodens is a midline supernumerary tooth, mostly located in the maxillary arch. We presented a rare case of a patient with nonsyndromic impacted triple supernumer-ary teeth precluding the eruption of central maxillary incisors. Case report. In addition to providing a detailed 3D picture of the patient’s dentition, cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) scan analysis revealed dens in dente malformation of one of the supernumeraries. Following surgical removal of all supernumerary teeth, the maxillary central incisors erupted spontaneously after a two-year period. Conclusion. To the best of our knowledge, no similar case report has been pub-lished in scientific literature. This case report highlights the importance of CBCT for proper diagnosis of supernumerary teeth as well as additional anomalies.
