Peg-shaped UL2 - this malformation is often associated with a congenitally absent contralateral tooth.
PA radiograph confirms there is sufficient space between the roots to permit the safe insertion of an implant in the region. Often the roots may converge following orthodontic movement increasing the probability of damaging the adjacent roots during implant placement and site preparation.

OPG confirms absence of ectoptic teeth or supernumeraries.

Note : -reduced compliment of permanent teeth also a feature of this condition.

Although the gingival zenith on UR2 is not at the same horizontal level as at UL2 , the local bone grafting and soft tissue manipulation techniques employed were tolerable to the patient and delivered a good aesthetic result. This was acceptable to the patient whose smile line is low. The UL2 peg-lateral was restored with a veneer using minimal preparation.
