Solitary median maxillary central incisor (SMMCI) is a rare dental anomaly. It is estimated to occur in 1 : 50,000 live births. The SMMCI tooth differs from the normal central incisor in that the crown form is symmetric and it develops and erupts precisely in the midline of the maxillary dental arch in both primary and permanent dentitions. The presence of SMMCI with hemifacial microsomia (HFM) is a very rare clinical condition. We report a case of SMMCI in a female of African ethnic origin, who presented with SMMCI in permanent dentition with mild nasal stenosis. An early diagnosis of SMMCI is important, since it may be a sign for other severe congenital or developmental abnormalities. Therefore, systematic follow-up and close monitoring of the growth and development of SMMCI patients are crucial.

“…SMMCI might be observed either as an isolated dental anomaly or accompanied by several midline defects (1)(2)(4)(5). Other conditions that might accompany SMMCI are mental retardation, congenital heart anomalies, coloboma, nasal malformation (choanal atresia, nasal stenosis, piriform aperture stenosis), cleft lip and palate, hypopituitarism, hypothyroidism, holoproencephaly (HPE) (2)(3)(4)(6)(7)(8)(9).…”

“…The prevalence of SMMCI is 1:50.000 and its etiology is still unknown. It is thought that a mutation in Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) gene might lead to SMMCI formation (1,(3)(4)(5)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12). Sex predominance for SMMCI is a controversial issue while some studies state female predominance, where some studies state no sex predilection (1,3,10).…”

The absence of maxillary central incisor is a rare condition. One central incisor with a symmetrical crown can be seen in both deciduous and permanent dentition at the midline and it is clinically the common sign of solitary median maxillary central incisor (SMMCI). SMMCI can be seen as a isolated dental anomaly as it can be seen with other midline defects.The prevalence of SMMCI is 1:50.000 and the etiology is unknown. In the study SMMCI as a rare dental condition is taken into consideration for its systemic approach and treatment.
