Abstract

The agenesis of upper lateral incisors represents a clinical challenge regarding treatment planning and appropriate aesthetic and functional results. In order to obtain the best results, the clinician should be informed about the different therapeutic options currently available, considering that the indication depends on each individual clinical case, that is, on the patient in his/her comprehensive context in addition to his/her oral condition. It is also important to evaluate long term results from each treatment available, in order to achieve the better outcome and most importantly, a stable clinical resolution over time. The treatment success in this kind of patients requires a multidisciplinary approach, including specialists in orthodontics, oral rehabilitation, periodontics, and oral surgery if necessary. The objective of this review is to describe and compare the therapeutic alternatives for maxillary lateral incisor agenesis.
