Abstract

Solitary median maxillary central incisor (SMMCI) syndrome is a rare developmental anomaly associated with other midline defects of development resulting from currently unknown factors operating during embryological development. Provide an evidence based updated full insight into the SMMCI syndrome. SMMCI syndrome is a development anomaly characterized by certain features present in the oral cavity. Usually it is part of the spectrum of holoprosencephaly (HPE) and will have other craniofacial and cerebral features associated. Diagnosis can be made during pregnancy, at birth or during childhood and it is important to establish a differential diagnosis. Treatment will depend on the anomalies accompanying the SMMCI and will have to be multidisciplinary and individualized to the specific needs of each patient. In conclusion SMMCI syndrome can be a predictor of a more serious anomaly, such as HPE, therefore it is important to establish an early diagnosis. In order to optimize the therapeutic results and improve the quality of life of these patients, treatment should be approached by a multidisciplinary team, which should include a pediatric dentist
