Abstract

The maxillary lateral incisor is the second most commonly congenitally missing tooth. Various treatment modalities have been proposed for its replacement, including canine substitution, tooth-supported fixed restorations, and single-tooth implants. Among these, dental implants offer a predictable and conservative solution once dental and skeletal growth are complete. This clinical report presents management strategies for two patients with unilateral congenital absence of maxillary lateral incisors, successfully rehabilitated using single-tooth dental implants, resulting in improved aesthetics and patient satisfaction.
