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. Careful treatment planning, space management, augmentation of bone and attention to the details of implant surgical and pros-thetic techniques are important factors when treating anterior maxilla, especially in the replacement of missing teeth. This case report addresses the fundamental considerations related to replacement of a congenitally missing lateral incisor by a team approach.
