A non-invasive treatment option in solitary median maxillary central incisor syndrome

Abstract

Solitary median maxillary central incisor (SMMCI) syndrome (OMIM #147250) is a disorder characterized by developmental defects of midline structures with variable expressivity. It presents dentally as a single symmetrical central incisor in the midline position. This is a case report of a child with the isolated dental feature of a single maxillary central incisor, with no medical features of SMMCI syndrome. Under the management of a multidisciplinary dental team, a non-invasive approach was undertaken to improve aesthetics. This case report describes the dental options for managing SMMCI including a non-invasive option that has not previously been reported in detail. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Dentists should be aware of SMMCI and its potential medical sequelae.
