Abstract

The smile is very important for adults as well as for children and their guardians. Its harmony could be negatively influenced by the presence of dental anomalies like alterations in shape, size, position, color or texture. In this article a case of a single unilateral peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisor is described along with the conservative treatment proposed. The esthetic approach is reported step by step and also discussed.
