The pesky lateral incisor Topics Developmental issues with the lateral incisor — Dr Sadna Rajan Lateral incisors are such interesting teeth in the dentition with a myriad of problems affecting them related to number, size, morphology, structure and eruption. The aetiology includes developmental, environmental and genetic causes. Managing the lateral incisor — Dr Gordon Burt A decision process ultimately involves whether to keep a tooth, or pursue replacement. The patient’s age and other factors are important considerations in this process. The solutions can be simple, or much more complex. Potentially, an early decision can result in a lifetime commitment to managing the problem. Orthodontic management of the missing lateral incisor — Dr Sean O’Callaghan The digital age has revolutionised the management of the missing lateral incisor. Computer-aided diagnosis, in conjunction with virtual treatment planning, can allow the practitioner to make an informed choice whether to open or close the space.
Proudly supported by
Indirect resin bonded bridge techniques — Dr Harry Vlachodimitropoulos The resin bonded bridge offers patients an effective long-term solution to replace a missing lateral incisor. With proper case selection and effective preparation of the supporting tooth, a functional and aesthetic outcome can be achieved. Direct resin solutions — Dr Geoff Knight Conservative restorative management of missing lateral incisors with composite resin offers a simple and predictable alternative to more invasive alternatives. A range of treatment options that can be arranged to suit the ongoing interests of a patient throughout their life, from the simple lateralisation of a canine, to providing a direct composite resin reinforced cantilevered bridge. Replacement with implants — Dr Phil Yeung Knowledge of the long-term survival of single implants in cases of congenitally missing lateral incisors in the maxilla is limited. There are many factors to consider when heading down this path: developmental, anatomical, biomechanical and not least aesthetics.
