Though supernumerary tooth / teeth, particularly mesiodens are not rare, the condition in which supernumerary teeth occur with one or more congenitally missing teeth in the same or opposite arch, in absence of any syndrome is unusual. Here, we present two such cases -
(i) A 11 year old boy with two mesiodens erupted in between permanent maxillary central incisors with a congenitally missing permanent mandibular lateral incisor.
(ii) A 48 year old male patient with a mesiodens erupted in between permanent maxillary central incisors with congenitally missing both permanent maxillary lateral incisors and a canine.
