Abstract

Congenitally missing teeth, a multifactorial dental anomaly, the result of disturbances during the early stages of development, is one among the foremost common anomalies with negatively affect both esthetics and oral function. We are presenting a special case of a patient with a rare combination of non-syndromic, non-hereditary, bilateral mandibular congenital dental aplasia, clinically manifested in the permanent dentition, as an isolated case, probably determined by a spontaneous, de novo mutation, associated with a maxillary central incisor (1.1) in a vestibular position. The study was performed in Bucharest, Romania by a multidisciplinary team in accordance with the Declaration of Helsinki - Ethical Principles and Good Clinical Practices and after acquiring the patient’s informed consent.

Keywords: congenitally missing teeth, non-syndromic, non-hereditary, de novo mutation.
