Abstract

The size of teeth, when smaller than normal is termed as microdontia. Microdontia involving a single tooth is frequently seen. It commonly affects the maxillary lateral incisor and the third molars. A common form of microdontia which affects the maxillary lateral incisor is known as #x201C;peg lateral.#x201D; But localized involvement of mandibular lateral incisor is very rare entity in itself. Hence, this article describes a rare finding of microdont mandibular lateral incisor in a 9-year-old Indian female.
