Abstract :
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.
