LIVE CE WEBINAR: April 18, 2025 11:00 am

Overview

The replacement of the missing maxillary lateral incisor is a treatment dilemma that has plagued dentists for decades. It is the second most common tooth to be missing due to agenesis and is also a common tooth to be injured due to trauma. There are several treatment options to replace the missing lateral incisor. These include the dental implant, canine substitution, and the bonded bridge. In this presentation each of these treatment options, along with risks and benefits, will be discussed.
Learning Objectives

At the end of this program attendees will be able to:

  • Describe risks associated with the treatment options, especially the dental implant
  • Identify the indications and the technique for canine substitution
  • Plan, prepare, and insert a zirconia bonded bridge
