Conservative Approaches to Replacing Congenitally Missing Maxillary Lateral Incisors: Case Series
The New York State Dental Journal
|June 20, 2018
Summary
Managing congenitally missing lateral incisors requires careful assessment of space and bone. Treatment options vary based on these dimensions for optimal esthetics.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Orthodontics
Background:
- Congenitally missing lateral incisors are a common dental anomaly.
- Optimal esthetics and function require careful management of these cases.
Observation:
- This case series examines various techniques for managing missing lateral incisors.
- Treatment selection depends on mesiodistal and incisocervical space dimensions.
- Underlying bone volume is a critical factor in choosing treatment modalities.
Findings:
- A range of approaches can be employed to manage missing lateral incisors.
- The available space and bone quantity dictate the most suitable treatment strategy.
Implications:
- Understanding these factors allows for predictable treatment outcomes.
- Esthetic rehabilitation of missing lateral incisors can be achieved through tailored approaches.

01:57What is Conservation Biology?
24.4K
Conservation biology is a scientific field that focuses on the preservation of biodiversity in order to protect ecosystems while meeting the needs of the human population. Humans require properly functioning ecosystems to maintain our supply of natural resources, including food, medicines, and building materials.

01:49Conserved Binding Sites
5.2K
Many proteins’ biological role depends on their interactions with their ligands, small molecules that bind to specific locations on the protein known as ligand-binding sites. Ligand-binding sites are often conserved among homologous proteins as these sites are critical for protein function.
Binding sites are often located in large pockets, and if their location on a protein’s surface is unknown, it can be predicted using various approaches. The energetic method computationally...

02:04Conservation of Small Populations
17.4K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

02:26Conservation of Protein Domains Over Different Proteins
14.6K
Protein domains are small structurally independent units that are part of a single amino acid chain. Although these domains are often structurally independent, they may rely on synergistic effects to perform their functions as part of a larger protein. Protein domains may be conserved within the same organism, as well as across different organisms.
A limited set of protein domains often duplicate and recombine during evolution. These domains can be organized in different combinations to...

01:10Resistors In Series
6.7K
A resistor is an ohmic device that limits the flow of charge in a circuit. Most circuits have more than one resistor. If several resistors are connected together and connected to a battery, the current supplied by the battery depends on the equivalent resistance of the circuit. The equivalent resistance of a combination of resistors depends on both their individual values and how they are connected. The simplest combination of resistors is the series combination.

01:28Lateralization
1.1K
Brain lateralization refers to the division of mental processes and functions between the two hemispheres of the brain, a phenomenon that optimizes neural efficiency and underpins complex abilities in humans. This specialization allows each hemisphere to perform tasks where it has a comparative advantage, facilitating more refined cognitive capabilities across different domains.
