Abstract
Congenitally missing teeth are not rare. However, their association with other dental anomalies has always been a topic of interest in the
profession. Occurrence of peg-shaped incisors in the mandibular arch is a rare finding. Strong association has been suggested between
hypodontia and microdontia. Treatment approach has to be case specific and depends on the condition of primary predecessor, number of
missing teeth, status of occlusion/occlusal condition and patient/parent’s preferences. This paper reports an unusual case of bilateral agenesis
of permanent mandibular canines and unilateral agenesis of mandibular incisors, in association with a rare finding of peg-shaped mandibular
lateral incisor in a 7-year-old Indian female.
