Brief Background: Congenital or developmental agenesis of teeth impacts not only complete dentition but also the aesthetics. The paper presents a case of hypodontia and diastema and their management. Materials and Methods: Clinical and radiographic examinations revealed overretained deciduous teeth and midline diastema following which orthodontic correction and prosthodontic rehabilitation were proposed. Discussion: Aspects such as differential need for replacement, treatment objectives concerning maintenance of facial profile and aesthetics, masticatory efficiency and speech, preservation and restoration of alveolar bone, need for multi-disciplinary approach, considerations that govern treatment modalities were the subject of discussion. Summary and Conclusions: There are prosthetic options galore for restorations which naturally should aim at caries free dentition, longer preservation of primary teeth in the event of missing permanent successor and preservation of the deficient alveolar bone.
