Sažetak
Introduction: Hypodontia is a congenital lack of one or more teeth in the deciduous, permanent or both dentitions. Upper lateral incisors and other lower premolars are most often missing. Hypodontia of the lateral maxillary incisors is a condition that significantly impairs the aesthetics of the smile, which is especially worrying in young patients. This article demonstrates how a combination of non- invasive treatments and immediate restorative options can improve clinical outcomes after orthodontic treatment of symmetric upper lateral incisor hypodontia. Objective: To establish aesthetic oral rehabilitation of an 18- year-old girl with hypodontia of the upper lateral incisors with a multidisciplinary approach of a pediatric dentist and orthodontist. Case report: The patient came to the Department of Pediatric and Preventive Dentistry after completing fixed orthodontic therapy that closed the space caused by hypodontia of the upper lateral incisors. The next step was coronoplasty of teeth 13 and 23. A satisfactory aesthetic and functional result was achieved by reshaping the crowns of teeth 13 and 23 with composite material (GrandioSO Heavy Flow liquid and GrandioSO solid A3 composite) to morphologically imitate the crowns of teeth 12 and 22. Conclusion: With a multidisciplinary approach in the treatment of hypodontia, it is possible to achieve a satisfactory aesthetic and functional result for the patient. Although other types of therapy are available today, such as implantology and prosthetics, we can conclude that coronoplasty is a simpler, faster and more economical choice. Although from time to time there is a need to remove accumulated pigmentation or even replace the material, the advantage over dental bridges is that the biological integrity of the teeth remains preserved.
