Treatment options for congenitally missing lateral incisors.

CONCLUSIONS: Definitive conclusions cannot be drawn, since randomised controlled trials and more prospective and retrospective studies directly comparing the two therapeutic options are required. According to this systematic review, both therapeutic options are effective. However, it seems that the orthodontic space closure, whenever this is possible, is advantageous over the prosthodontic rehabilitation. PMID: 27314109 [PubMed - in process]
