PDF Full Text
Abstract
Dental agenesis is a common developmental anomaly in humans. It is defined as the developmental absence of teeth, excluding the third molars. Compared to primary dentition, it is more commonly seen in permanent dentition. The most frequently occurring congenitally missing teeth in permanent dentition are the mandibular second premolars after the third molars. This paper aims to report a case of non-syndromic bilaterally missing permanent mandibular central incisors and its management in a 9-year-old female patient.
