Rehabilitation in Cases of Maxillary Lateral Incisor Agenesis Using Zirconia Implant and Abutment: Finite Element Analysis and Systematic Review
The implant-prosthetic rehabilitation of MLIA has demonstrated high reliability and predictability in both esthetic and functional outcomes, especially when performed through a multidisciplinary approach involving orthodontics, periodontics, implantology, and prosthodontists. Long-term studies are still necessary to validate the longevity and performance of zirconia implants in MLIA.
