A common from of microdontia which affect the maxillary lateral incisor is known as peg lateral. Treatment approach has to be case specific and depends on the condition of primary predecessor, number of missing teeth, status of occlusion and patient preference.This clinical report describes the treatment of both sided peg-shaped lateral incisors that were restored with resin composite laminate veneers.
