Implant-Supported Single Crowns Replacing Congenitally Missing Maxillary Lateral Incisors: A 5-Year Follow-Up.

Background: Knowledge of the long-term survival of single implants in cases of congenitally missing lateral incisors in the maxilla is limited.

Purpose: This retrospective study aimed to evaluate the 5-year survival of implants and implant-supported crowns (ISCs) and to assess the functional and aesthetic outcomes from the professional and patient perspectives.

Materials And Methods: From a total of 46 patients with congenitally missing upper lateral incisors, 36 patients treated with 54 Brånemark® (Nobel Biocare AB, Göteborg, Sweden) implants and ISCs participated in the study.
