Missing upper lateral incisors:
Most commonly cited facts
Prevalence between 1 to 3 per cent
20% of all congenitally missing teeth are maxillary laterals
Females are affected slightly more than males
Agenesis of both maxillary lateral incisors is more common than agenesis of only one
The maxillary lateral incisor is the most frequently affected tooth in the cleft area in both primary and permanent dentitions

What makes a smile attractive?
![Page 7: MANAGING CONGENITALLY INCISORS - DHSV · 2013-08-07 · Missing upper lateral incisors: Most commonly cited facts Prevalence between 1 to 3 per cent 20% of all congenitally missing](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012921/5e45e11f423c89615f6cabb8/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
‘Ideal’ aesthetics?
“the difficulty with aesthetic judgment is that objective criteria are not always decisive. Much depends on the subjective feelings and interpretation of the observer,
with cultural factors playing a significant role”
Strub and Turp
![Page 8: MANAGING CONGENITALLY INCISORS - DHSV · 2013-08-07 · Missing upper lateral incisors: Most commonly cited facts Prevalence between 1 to 3 per cent 20% of all congenitally missing](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012921/5e45e11f423c89615f6cabb8/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“Opening or closing the anterior spaces is the
diagnostic decision, and either choice
must account for some compromise.
The question to be answered is:
Which compromise represents the best cost/benefit to
the patient, both functionally and aesthetically”
Araujo et al 2006

Why is a restorative assessment important?
Diagnostically driven treatment plan
1. Patient desires are understood
2. Restorative limitations identified
3. Coordinated treatment - cooperation between
treatment team
End point established
1. Immediate treatment phase
2. Retention phase
3. Long term treatment phase

1. To examine and compare aesthetics according to the
opinion of the patient who had received either
orthodontic space closure (SC) or space opening and
prosthetic replacement (PR).
2. To examine and compare occlusal function and
periodontal health in patients who had received
either SC or PR

Results:
Professionals less critical than laypeople concerning overall appearance
For both groups, most disturbing feature - colour of the canine
For professionals, the second most disturbing feature – the shape of the teeth – in particular, a pointed cuspid
For lay people, the second most disturbing feature – the space condition

Part 2: Assessing dentists’ preferences for treatment.
Armbruster et al 2005
Aim:
1. To determine if there are different preferences
among orthodontists, combined dental specialists
and general dentists regarding treatment options
2. Determine the role of aesthetics and function on
respondents treatment preferences
3. Compare the respondents’ opinions relative to
their rankings of aesthetics in part 1

The congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisor.
Part 2: Assessing dentists’ preferences for treatment.
Armbruster et al 2005
Results:
Different preferences between the orthodontists,
combined dental specialists and general dentists
concerning how to treat
A significantly greater percentage of general
dentists and combined dental specialists responded
that the lateral incisors should be replaced
prosthetically – primarily for aesthetic reasons
Despite indicating a ‘prosthetic solution’, many
preferred the aesthetics of the canine substitution
![Page 28: MANAGING CONGENITALLY INCISORS - DHSV · 2013-08-07 · Missing upper lateral incisors: Most commonly cited facts Prevalence between 1 to 3 per cent 20% of all congenitally missing](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012921/5e45e11f423c89615f6cabb8/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
“Part 2 of this study revealed discrepancies between
the treatment result judged as most aesthetic and the
one most likely to be recommended.
Therefore, dental professionals should attempt to
eliminate their personal biases when recommending
treatment”
