Popis: Maxillary microdont lateral incisors can have significant implications on the development of the permanent dentition in terms of the eruption of maxillary permanent canines, as well as on the aesthetics of the upper labial segment and the overall occlusion, depending on the extent of microdontia. This paper describes the aetiology, clinical implications and management of the maxillary microdont lateral incisor. Clinical Relevance: The definitive management of the maxillary microdont lateral incisor may involve either a restorative or orthodontic approach or, in some cases, a combined orthodontic-restorative approach.
