Introduction: One of the extremely rare conditions is the simultaneous occurrence of both hypodontia and hyperdontia in the same individual, known as hypo-hyperdontia or the concomitant hypodontia and hyperdontia (CHH). The prevalence of hypo-hyperdontia is estimated between 0.002% and 3.1%. The etiology of this unusual condition still remains undetermined.
Case presentation: In the present case we report a patient with double mesiodens, coincide with missing primary and permanent lateral incisors.
Conclusion: Both mesiodens were extracted to prevent its adverse effects on the permanent dentition.
