The absence of the maxillary lateral incisors creates a functional and esthetic problem that can be managed with different treatment modalities.
Case presentation
The present case is reported to illustrate an interdisciplinary approach involving orthodontics and restorative dentistry to manage the case of a 24-year-old Caucasian female with agenesis of the maxillary right lateral incisor, presence of the maxillary right canine in place of the lateral incisor, microdontia of the maxillary left lateral incisor, and midline deviation. Treatment included space opening and positioning of a 3 mm implant supporting a single-unit crown, placed using computer-assisted, template-guided surgery.
Conclusion
Comprehensive interdisciplinary rehabilitation according to the CRANIO philosophy was effective in successfully restoring function and esthetics in a young female patient affected by congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisor.
