Conservative approach for the management of congenital bilateral agenesis of permanent mandibular incisors: case report and literature review.

BACKGROUND Agenesis of mandibular incisors can lead to compromised dental and facial aesthetics and therefore requires appropriate treatment. When retained primary incisors are associated to this condition, a medium-term restoration may be provided before any definitive treatment to provide aesthetic relief to the young patient. CASE REPORT The aim of this paper is to discuss the aesthetic management of a case with bilateral congenital agenesis of permanent incisors and retained primary incisors, which were successfully treated with direct composite restorations. CONCLUSION This appears a viable technique that restores function and aesthetics with a very conservative approach.
