Congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors are the
second most common dental agenesis, exceeded only
by third molars. Hypodontia, the absence of one or a few
teeth, arises from a disturbance early in the tooth formation
process during initiation or proliferation of the tooth bud. As a
rule, if a tooth is absent, the most distal tooth of a type will be
affected. Tooth malformations result from later disturbances
during the differentiation stages of dental development, and
these are most commonly manifested as size variations.
Other dental anomalies that are frequently associated with
congenitally missing teeth include microdontia, delayed
dental development, and certain discrete ectopic eruption of
the tooth. This presentation discusses factors in determining
whether to close an open space or to open enough space
for a prosthetic treatment for congenitally missing maxillary
lateral incisors. Further, the importance of a total treatment
approach using an interdisciplinary dental specialty team to
maximize function, aesthetics, and oral health is discussed.

You may remember the first time you saw a dentist wearing
magnifying loupes or using a microscope; you probably
thought the person must have a severe vision defect and is
gadget freak. That certainly was my opinion as I observed
renowned dentist using them to accomplish an oral treatment
procedure. I had that naive opinion for the first few years of
my dental career since magnification was not a popular aid
to dental practice in India. Although I’m blessed with nearly
perfect vision, I always felt the need to see more clearly
some of the aspects of dental practice. After a few years
of watching excellent dentists routinely using magnification
and getting great results, I finally became inquisitive enough
to try the concept myself. I found the extra armamentarium
and extra time being taken to begin with in all the procedures
with these gadgets. This put few doubts in my mind about
moving along with magnification or not? However, after a few
days of forcing myself, I was convinced that my treatment
was being accomplished at a higher level of quality because
of the magnification. My friends & colleagues asked me
if I had started to use a new technique, because I was able
to do complicated procedures easily and in a better way.
This presentation poses some of those questions about
magnification and answers from scientific information,
personal experiences and my work with many dentists in
study clubs whether the need of microscopes is really a need
of the hour.
