Esthetic Rehabilitation of Bilaterally Missing Maxillary Lateral Incisors in a Young Adult: A Step-by-Step Clinical Case Report
This case report shows the esthetic rehabilitation of a young female patient with congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors, a fractured previous fixed prosthesis, and dissatisfaction with her smile. A minimally invasive approach was followed, utilizing digital smile design with ExoCAD (Exocad GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany) digital software to plan and fabricate zirconia bridges following minimal crown preparation. The treatment aimed to restore both function and esthetics, resulting in a natural-looking, harmonious smile. The patient expressed high satisfaction with the outcome, citing improvements in appearance, comfort, and oral function. This case emphasizes the critical role of individualized treatment planning, advanced digital technology, and the use of high-quality restorative materials in achieving successful dental outcomes.
