Abstract
Agenesis is a condition, generally congenital, involving the absence of one or more elements in the arch. It can involve both deciduous and permanent dentition, compromising the aesthetics, but also the function, of the patient’s dentition. The appropriate clinical approach does not involve the application of a single branch of dentistry, but rather a multidisciplinary approach is essential.
