title: A solitary maxillary central incisor treated orthodontically: a case report.
abstract: The presentation of a solitary maxillary central incisor is reported and its association with other congenital abnormalities discussed. It is an important finding for dental health professionals, since it may indicate the presence of other significant midline congenital abnormalities. It may also indicate the presence of associated disorders that profoundly affect growth and development and which, once identified, may be treated.
