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

Authors:

ABSTRACT

Aim

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.
