Dental Transposition of Mandibular Canine and First Premolar – the first Case Report

Case Reports in Odontology, 2014
Dental transposition is a form of ectopic eruption with change in position of normal adjacent teeth. Its prevalence is very low in general population and could be frequently missed on oral examination. We present a rare case of dental transposition between left mandibular canine and first premolar in a 22 year old Libyan male patient. ...Read more

(2014) Dental Transposition of Mandibular Canine and First Premolar – the First Case Report. Case Reports in Odontology. 1(1), 02-04 Retrieved from http://www.casereportsinodontology.org Page | 3 Introduction Tooth transposition is defined as ‘the positional interchange of two adjacent teeth – particularly of the roots – or the development or eruption of a tooth in a position occupied normally by a non-adjacent tooth ‘– Peck et al [1] . Tooth transposition is an anomaly of eruption characterized by interchanged position of two adjacent teeth [2] . Mandibular transposition is rare and it is frequently reported only with mandibular canine and lateral incisor [2] . To the best of our knowledge, we report the first case report of dental transposition of mandibular canine and first premolar of a Libyan patient in English literature. Case Report A 22-year-old male patient of Libyan origin, reported to the outpatient department of Faculty of Dentistry, Sebha University, Sebha, Libya. He complained of pain in a decayed tooth in lower left front region. He also complained of food impaction between teeth and difficulty in mastication. His medical history and personal history was non-contributory. Past dental history revealed that he had undergone uneventful extraction. The intraoral examination revealed transposition of left mandibular canine and first premolar. The mandibular canine was rotated medially and there was spacing between the first premolar and lateral incisor (Figure 1). Intra-oral periapical radiograph revealed dental transposition along with carious lesions in 33 and 34 besides remaining root of 35 (Figure 2). The patient was advised restoration of carious teeth, extraction of the root stumps and orthodontic correction. Discussion Dental transposition is identified as complete transposition when the crowns and the roots of the involved teeth exchange places in the dental arch and incomplete transposition when the crowns are transposed, but the roots remain in their normal positions. The canine is one of the most commonly involved teeth in the transposition phenomenon [3]. Etiology of transposition is not known. Proposed causes include abnormal displacement of tooth bud or deviation during tooth development, genetic interchange between tooth buds, mechanical interferences in eruption, early loss or prolonged retention of deciduous teeth [2]. In general population, the prevalence of dental transposition is around 0.4%. It frequently involves mandibular canine/lateral incisor and on the left side [3, 4] . Herewith, we give the first report of mandibular canine transposition and first premolar in a male Libyan patient for the first time in English literature. Conclusion The true cause of such anomalous eruption could be elucidated only with genomic investigations. We recommend an accurate oral examination for identifying such rare anomalies, initiate prompt treatment for restoration of esthetics and occlusion.
