Racial comparisons of prevalences of dental anomalies were made on 13,473 Hawaiian‐born children aged 12 to 18 years. Dental anomalies studied included supernumerary teeth, peg‐shaped lateral incisors, dens in dente (invaginated tooth), hypoplasia, fusion (or gemination), and high cingulum of upper lateral incisors (barrel‐shaped teeth) in the permanent dentition. The highest frequency of peg‐shaped laterals was observed among Filipinos and part‐Filipinos with no evidence of heterogeneity among other racial groups. Dens in dente was more common among Hawaiian descendents. Fusion or gemination was observed more commonly among children with Chinese parentage. High cingulum of laterals was fairly common in Orientals particularly in Filipinos and nil among Caucasians and Hawaiians. There was neither significant maternal effect nor effect (non‐additive) of hybridity
