Congenital absence of permanent maxillary canines is exceptionally rare. This case study details a rare instance of bilateral missing canines in a young male, discussing diagnostic challenges and management strategies.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Congenital tooth agenesis, specifically the absence of permanent canines, is a rare dental anomaly.
  • Maxillary canine agenesis is less common than other tooth types, with bilateral cases being exceedingly rare.

Observation:

  • A healthy 11-year-old male of Chinese descent presented with a complete absence of permanent maxillary canines.
  • Clinical examination and radiographic assessments confirmed the bilateral congenital aplasia of these specific teeth.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the diagnostic difficulties associated with identifying rare dental anomalies.
  • The study reviews various management options for bilateral congenital maxillary canine aplasia, considering functional and aesthetic outcomes.
