Eight thousand, two hundred eighty-nine Caucasian, American, male and female, University of Minnesota students were examined for agenesis and peg-shaped permanent maxillary lateral incisors. Agenesis was demonstrated in 0.95 per cent of those examined while 0.88 per cent demonstrated peg-shaping of these teeth. The female demonstrated a higher frequency of agenesis and peg-shaped lateral incisors than the male. Also, a predominance of left-sided occurrence in both agenesis and peg-shaping was noted in this population study.
A total of 1.78 per cent of all students examined demonstrated either peg-shaping or agenesis of permanent maxillary lateral incisors.
