“…There was a higher average attractive smile (59%), followed by an attractive good smile (23%) and a less attractive bad smile (18%). (Muhamad, Nezar and Azzaldeen, 2016)] showed that very short and very long maxillary lateral incisors were consistently perceived as " least attractive " smiles. In [ (Shaw, 1981)] study, it shows that normal dental appearance would be judged to be better looking, more desirable as friends, more intelligent, and less likely to behave aggressively.…”

Dental esthetics is a field of dentistry concerned especially with the appearance of dentition as achieved through its arrangement, form and color. The type of malocclusion, the degree of malocclusion, age, patients' esthetic desires, practitioners' style of treatment as well as gender predilection can influence the final esthetic treatment the patient will be subjected to. From functional demands, the patients of the current world, have shifted their demands to esthetics. Esthetics can be simply detected based on the position of lateral incisors. The aim of this study is to determine the prevalence of rotation, overlap and straightly positioned lateral incisors and its impact towards attractiveness of smile in female patients reporting to institutional setup in Chennai. A sample size of 500 patients' information from a database of an institutional setup in Chennai was taken after reviewing 86,000 patients and a retrospective study was performed followed by data analysis using SPSS version 20.0 software. It can be said that the attractiveness of a smile depends upon the relation of the lateral incisors. P value associated with lateral incisor position and age of the sample size was found to be 0.361.

“…[ 32 33 ] Osseo-integrated implants can, also, be used to replace congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors. [ 34 35 36 37 ] Customized lingual orthodontic appliances and adjunctive use of direct skeletal anchorage derived from two palatal mini-implants have, also, been successfully used in patients to close the space of congenitally missing lateral incisors. [ 38 ] The review of the literature suggests that orthodontic space closure in missing laterals produced stable results and were accepted better by patients compared to prosthetic rehabilitation.…”

OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency of congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors (LIs) and to find out its variability in relation to gender. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective study was carried out between January 2017 and December 2017. Orthopantomographs (OPGs) and lateral cephalographs record search of all orthodontic adolescent patients aged 12 to 18 years were taken from the archival records of the department. Orthopantomographs helped to diagnose the presence of unilateral/bilateral maxillary lateral incisors while the ANB angle was calculated from the lateral cephalographs to divide the subjects into various skeletal malocclusions. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS USED: The statistical analysis was done using the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS version 17.0). The frequencies were compared with the help of the Chi-square test. P <0.05 was considered statistically significant. RESULTS: The frequency of missing upper laterals among the male patients was 0.9%, however, 2.8% of the female patients were having missing maxillary lateral incisors. Based on gender, 62.16% had a bilateral expression of missing upper laterals, 16.21% had left unilateral expression, and 21.62% had right unilateral expression. Furthermore, skeletal class I malocclusion had a prevalence of 54.16% of bilateral missing lateral incisors in upper arch as compared to 40% of left unilateral expression and 37.5% of right unilateral expression whereas in skeletal class II malocclusion, the prevalence of right unilateral expression was 37.5% as compared to bilateral expression which was 33.33%. The left unilateral expression in skeletal class II malocclusion was found to be only 20%. The highest prevalence of missing laterals in skeletal class III malocclusion was left unilateral expression which was around 40%. The prevalence of right unilateral expression was 25% whereas the bilateral absence of upper laterals in skeletal class III malocclusion was 12.5%. CONCLUSION: The prevalence rate for congenitally missing upper lateral incisors in the orthodontic adolescent population aged 12 to 18 years was found to be 3.77% in the present study while females were found to have a greater percentage of agenesis of the upper lateral incisors (2.8%) as compared to the males (0.9%).

“…The replacement of a damaged adult tooth by the insertion of dental implant material cannot be overemphasized in the treatment of dental ailments in the world today. In children, this thermal treatment method has not been considered seriously, and the use of implants is still infrequent and controversial [14] . In some cases, anodontia, partial anodontia, congenitally missing teeth, and tooth loss from accident or trauma occur in children and adolescents, and they may undergo dental implantation with a dental implant that would be thoroughly scrutinized to suit the body system and growth rate of the patient.…”
