Solitary median maxillary central incisor in two healthy siblings: case report

Abstract A solitary median maxillary central incisor is an unusual dental finding and may be associated with short stature, growth hormone deficiencies, syndromes and chromosomal abnormalities. This paper describes two cases of the absence of a maxillary central incisor affecting both dentitions in two healthy siblings. No reports were found in the literature similar to this rare situation. This anomaly can be considered a predictor of holoprosencephaly in the next generation and affected individuals may require a long term evaluation by a multidisciplinary team.

Key words: Tooth abnormalities, hypodontia, malformations, children, holoprosencephaly
