Abstract
Patient: An 18-year-old female patient with aesthetic complaint caused by diastema in the anterior dental region. The first premolar and first molar of the right side were congenitally missing and uneven space was noted at premolar region and anterior teeth. Anterior teeth were treated with ceramic laminate veneers, and premolar region was treated with osseointegrated implant prosthesis after realignment of anterior teeth by minor tooth movement method (MTM).
Discussion: Functionally and aesthetically satisfactory result has been maintained for 3 years since treatment completion. It is considered that an appropriate dental realignment and proper dental arch that fits to the size of the patient's tongue have achieved aesthetic result and prevented recurrence of diastema.
Conclusion: Less invasive and more aesthetic dental treatment was carried out to a case of diastema with laminate veneers and osseointegrated implant prosthesis following MTM as a preprosthetic treatment.
