Abstract: Congenitally missing teeth are frequently presented to the dentist. Interdisciplinary approach may be needed for the proper treatment plan. The available treatment modalities to replace congenitally missing teeth include prosthodontic fixed and removable prostheses, resin bonded retainers, orthodontic movement of maxillary canine to the lateral incisor site and single tooth implants. Implants are a viable option for replacement of congenitally missing lateral incisors and should be considered before the commencement of definitive treatment plan. Early diagnosis, and proper planning can achieve excellent aesthetics. Interdisciplinary treatment plays a vital role to achieve an excellent, esthetic result for a most predictable outcome. This article aims to present a case report of replacement of bilaterally ,congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors with dental implants .Keywords;Congenitally missing teeth, Orthodontics, dental implants, Interdisciplinary approach
