چکیده
QDT 2002 63 issing lateral incisors is one of the most common congenital dental anomalies. New technology and materials offer a wide variety of treatment options for the replacement of missing teeth in order to improve esthetics and restore function. Nevertheless, indications and limitations of each system have to be considered and weighed in each case for the selection of the most adequate treatment. This article presents clinical steps and laboratory procedures for the treatment of congenitally missing lateral incisors with resin-bonded fixed partial dentures, a traditional approach that is conservative and can provide excellent esthetics if certain guidelines are followed. An innovative approach used to handle the gingival issues and to achieve a natural appearance at the periorestorative interface is also presented. TREATMENT PLANNING
