Maxillary lateral incisor agenesis is the most prevalent developmental dental anomaly. The management of missing lateral incisor was either closure using canine as substitution or creation of space orthodontically for prosthetic replacement. A careful diagnosis and treatment plan are deemed essential to address the patient’s needs as the spacing is present in the esthetic region. Such problem is very challenging for orthodontists, prosthodontists, and general practitioners. This case report describes the orthodontic management of a 22-year-old adult female patient with missing upper left lateral incisor tooth and upper anterior spacing by closing the space with canine lateralization and reshaping to simulate it with the lateral incisor. However, some modifications in the treatment mechanics are crucial to achieve the optimal esthetic and to improve the occlusion. Space closure with canine lateralization option seems less invasive, treatment can be completed relatively in a short period of time, and its adaptation with the facial changes throughout life without having artificial prosthesis provided other factors favoring for this option.

Summary Objectives To determine the prevalence and distribution of clinically missing permanent incisors, and the age at which they are detected, in school-aged children. Methods A total of 2573 children aged 4–13 underwent oral health screening on at least one occasion between 2001 and 2017. In order to define a threshold age, after which permanent incisor agenesis could be suspected clinically with reasonable certainty, children who had been seen for at least three consecutive years, with any clinically missing permanent incisor were selected (n = 19). The maximum age of detection among these children was chosen as the threshold age. Based on this, a total of 766 children at or above the threshold age were screened for a cross-sectional epidemiological survey. Chi-squared tests were used to compare the prevalence of clinically missing permanent incisors among boys and girls, comparing unilateral versus bilateral, and right- versus left-sided missing teeth. Results Roughly 2% of the sample presented with at least one clinically missing maxillary lateral incisor. This was bilateral in half of cases. Clinically missing mandibular incisors were found in 0.5% of children. Finally, the threshold age for clinical suspicion of maxillary lateral incisor agenesis was set at 11.5 years. Agenesis was confirmed in all of the children attending a follow-up radiographic visit. Conclusions Approximately 1 in 50 children present with a clinically missing maxillary lateral incisor. The age at suspicion of maxillary lateral incisor agenesis can sometimes be several years after its expected eruption, perhaps due to significant variation in eruption times.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of dental anomalies in a subpopulation of orthodontic patients with agenesis of maxillary lateral incisors (MLI). Methods: The material of the present study included the records of the 1964 orthodontic patients. Panoramic radiographs and dental casts were used to analyze other associated eight dental anomalies, including agenesis of other teeth, dens invaginatus, dens evaginatus, peg shaped MLI, taurodontism, pulp stone, root dilaceration and maxillary canine impaction. Results: Out of the 1964 patients examined, 90 were found to have agenesis of MLI, representing a prevalence of 4.6%. The most commonly found associated-anomalies were agenesis of other teeth (23.3%), peg-shaped MLIs (15.6%), taurodontism (42.2%), and dilacerated teeth (18.9%). Conclusion: Permanent tooth agenesis, taurodontism, peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisor, and root dilacerations are frequently associated with maxillary lateral incisor agenesis.

The increasing demand of patients looking for esthetics has resulted in the development of several techniques to restore anterior teeth. Conservative treatments should always be the first therapeutic option for the solution of aesthetic problems involving morphological changes and usually provide the result that the patient expects. In this context, ceramic laminate veneers, also known as “contact lenses,” are capable to provide an extremely faithful reproduction of natural teeth with great color stability and periodontal biocompatibility. Minimal or no preparation veneers are heavily advertised as the answer to patients’ cosmetic needs, when properly indicated by the dentist. This paper reports a clinical case where lateral incisor agenesis was aesthetically corrected using ceramic laminates.
