Resumen

There is some controversy as to what is the best treatment option for the agenesis of upper lateral incisors. The issue is whether to replace the missing incisor– crown on a dental implant- or to close the space with orthodontic treatment. In order to make this decision we need to evaluate: (1) facial esthetics and smile, occlusion and function, periodontal support and dental stability. In addition, when there is crowding or a Class II one tends to close the space, and when there are diastemas or a Class III one favors to create space for a prosthetic replacement. The question arises when there are several possible alternatives.
