Materials And Methods: This cross-sectional study was conceived at Faisalabad Medical University and de’Montmorency College of Dentistry, Pakistan.Duration of study was from December 2016 to October 2017. Non-probability consecutive sampling technique was used. Three hundred untreated patients were included as per selection criteria. Patients with cleft lip and palate or having any craniofacial malformations were excluded. Method of clinical examination was used to find the presence of peg maxillary laterals by measuring its mesiodistal dimension with standardised digital vernier callipers, and panoramic radiographs were used to confirm the presence and size of maxillary lateral incisors.
Results: Six percent(N=18)subjects were found to be having peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors out of 300 selected patients.Among the patients with peg laterals, unilateral-type was more common as compared to the bilateral one. Peg laterals were more common in females as compared to males.
