Multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of lateral incisor anomalies - orthodontic aspect
The lateral incisors anomalies are very common, and their treatment requires a multidisciplinary approach. Possible anomalies are microdontia of different severity, as well as hypodontia of the lateral incisors. In both cases, orthodontic and conservative therapy is required.
Orthodontic treatment for mild forms of microdontia involves the decision to create space for conservative tooth enlargement or to accept the given tooth size and close excess space. If microdontia is very pronounced and the lateral incisors is peg shaped, treatment options are conservative tooth reshaping and tooth extraction, especially when the contralateral lateral incisor is missing. In patients with hypodontia of the lateral incisors, the tretment options are to create space for prosthetic replacement or to close the space. In cases where the spaces are closing, it is necessary to conservatively reshape the canines into lateral incisors. This lecture will present patients who have been treated with different treatment options, their orthodontic therapy and conservative reshaping. The specifics of orthodontic treatment depending on the therapeutic option will also be described.
Patients with lateral incisor anomalies are very challenging to treat due to the fact that the anomalies are very diverse, and the problem is located in the aesthetic zone. Patients may also have associated orthodontic anomalies, which further influences the treatment decision.
