Tooth agenesis is defined as congenital absence of one or more teeth in primary or permanent dentition and is a common oral variation that affects a large population group. Among the missing one’s, maxillary lateral incisor is more frequent causing esthetic and functional impairments in the affected individual. It might be associated with systemic problems, syndromic conditions or other oral anomalies. Management of missing lateral incisors involves a multi-disciplinary approach for rehabilitation of impaired esthetics and function. This study was carried out to determine the prevalence of congenital absence (agenesis) of maxillary lateral incisors in Arabs population in Israel (Arab48).
