Abstract

Objective: To find the prevalence of peg-shaped lateral incisor in a public medical college in Mardan.

Materials & Methods: The descriptive cross-sectional study was done in Mardan where 150 students underwent an assessment for the prevalence of peg-shaped lateral incisor and its association with other development anomalies after informed consent was taken. Data were analysed using SPSS version 17. Descriptive and inferential statistics were performed.

Results: The prevalence of peg-shaped lateral incisor found was 5.3% and was found only in males. Statistically significant association was seen with supernumerary teeth (25%, p value=0.034) and congenitally missing teeth (37.5%, p value=0.034). Similarly, significant association (pvalue=0.004) was seen with the geographical area (Northern part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 75%, Central Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 12.5%, and Federally Administered Tribal Areas 12.5%).

Conclusion: Peg-shaped lateral incisor is prevalent in males mainly from residents of Northern part of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The peg-shaped lateral incisors have a strong association with palatally displaced canines and supernumerary teeth.
