central incisor – case report",
abstract="Solitary Median Maxillary Central Incisor Syndrome (SMMCI  Syndrome) is a rare developmental disorder consisting of  morphological defects that mainly affect structures in the  midline of the body. The aetiology of this syndrome has  not been fully explained, and SMMCI syndrome is observed  more frequently in females. The presence of a solitary  median maxillary incisor in the midline of the maxilla is  a typical trait in the stomatognathic system, and this anomaly  is found in both deciduous and permanent dentition.  Regarding developmental abnormalities accompanying  a solitary incisor with an atypical structure, the most  common ones include: lack of the frenulum of the upper  lip, deformations in the nasal cavity and cranial base, heart  defects, cleft lip and palate, and mental disability of various severity. Aim. The aim of this work is to present the  characteristic traits of a solitary median maxillary central  incisor syndrome on the basis of a case study of a 9-yearold  female patient and the analysis of available literature.  Material and methods. The literature review was  performed using the PubMed database and the following  key words: incisor, maxilla, syndrome, development, SMMCI  syndrome. Case report. When the clinical examination and  medical history were performed the patient was diagnosed  with signs of solitary median maxillary central incisor  syndrome. The outcomes of a computed tomography scan  confirmed choanal stenosis. Except for allergies to animal  hair and grass, the patient did not suffer from any systemic  diseases. On the basis of a clinical examination and analysis  of additional tests the following diagnosis was made:  I skeletal class, complete distocclusion with incisor  protrusion, partial lateral bilateral cross bite and dental  abnormalities. Summary. Patients diagnosed with SMMCI  syndrome often require complex care provided by specialists  from various fields of medicine and dentistry, due to the  possibility of coexistence of numerous developmental  abnormalities involving different body structures.
