Abstract

Aesthetic inadequacy due to hypodoncy of the upper left first premolar of a 20 yearold patient was detected by clinical and radiological examination. After a certain period of time space reduction had occurred because of shifting of a permanent upper canine tooth in the distal direction to the place of the second upper premolar, and the gap created corresponded to the width of the upper canine tooth. By a minimal traumatic therapy procedure we substituted the canine tooth by using fibres, adhesive procedure and composite materials.
