Abstract
In this article, we discuss from a clinical and esthetic point of view the possibilities, results and limits of the orthodontic treatment and the integration with prosthodontics, presenting some cases as illustration. This interdisciplinarv approach is unavoidable in cases of agenesis of the permanent upper lateral incisors or cuspids. The patients presented the absence of the permanent upper lateral incisors or other teeth, sometimes associated with dental crowding or a not favourable intermaxillary relationship. The diagnostic criteria for a correct and opportune treatment of this anomalies are being stressed on.
