Restoration of Congenitally Missing Lateral Incisors with Single Stage Implants: An Interdisciplinary Approach
نویسندگان
چکیده
The primary goal of the dental surgeon is to restore function as well as esthetics, and these objectives influence both the surgical and restorative phases of treatment. This report presents a conservative management of congenitally missing bilateral maxillary lateral incisors that was treated with a multidisciplinary approach between an orthodontist and a prosthodontist to redistribute spaces and establish buccolingual alveolar width by orthodontic movement of permanent canines distally in the maxillary arch followed by placement of implants to achieve a desirable esthetic result.
