Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: A. Mesiodens (supernumerary tooth)
A mesiodens is a supernumerary tooth located between the maxillary central incisors (midline). It is the most common supernumerary tooth. On the radiograph, it appears as an extra tooth in the anterior maxilla between the centrals. It can cause eruption problems, diastema, and root resorption of adjacent teeth.
