ABSTRACT
|
|
Introduction: Congenital agenesis of incisors often results in compromised dental and facial esthetics that require clinical application of minimally invasive dental procedures. Case Report: The aim of this clinical case report is to discuss a combination of treatment approaches to esthetically restore congenitally malformed maxillary lateral teeth, also known as peg-shaped lateral incisors. A 24-year-old female patient presents with a chief complaint of “sharp-looking and small” bilateral maxillary lateral teeth. The case began with diagnostic models and wax-ups, followed by soft and hard tissue crown lengthening, veneer preparations with ultra-fine finish lines, and final restorations with indirect porcelain ceramic veneers. Conclusion: Esthetic results were achieved with a comprehensive approach utilizing principles of minimally invasive dental procedures. Patient satisfaction in clinical outcomes was achieved by addressing patient’s opinions and concerns at all stages of the treatment. Keywords: Anodontia therapy, Dental veneers, Esthetics |
