Abstract
Congenitally missing canines are rare clinical findings with significant functional and aesthetic challenges. This case report describes the comprehensive management of a 23-year-old female patient presenting with bilateral maxillary canines and left lateral incisor agenesis, retained deciduous teeth, and missing mandibular first molars. Treatment included a staged approach involving autogenous bone grafting from the mandibular symphysis, extraction of retained deciduous lateral incisor and subsequent implant placement in relation to 23 leading to successful functional and aesthetic rehabilitation.
