Alternative in the treatment of hypodontia of the upper lateral incisors

Abstract

This case report describes the application of adhesively cemented restorations made out of related, although not identical types of ceramic materials in the treatment of inborn hypodontia of the lateral incisors, as well as the aesthetic imperfections of certain teeth in the whole smile. Considering the minimally invasive approach, and the preservation of natural tooth fibers, the restorations have shown to be acceptable both aesthetically and functionally, and have proven themselves as a safe and comfortable solution for patients.
