Prevalence and Associated Factors of Maxillary Canine Transposition in Subjects Visiting a University Hospital Setup

SciDoc Publishers, 2021
Tooth transposition is defined as a type of eruption anomaly where there is either an exchange of position between two adjacent teeth, or the development and eruption of a tooth in a position normally occupied by another non-adjacent tooth. The canine is one of the most commonly involved teeth in the transposition phenomenon. Early diagnosis of a developing transposition is extremely important and has a great influence on prognosis. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of maxillary canine transposition among patients visiting a private dental college. A retrospective study was conducted using the patient records from Saveetha Dental College, Chennai from June 2019 - April 2020. The study population included case records of patients who reported for orthodontic treatment. Records of 986 patients were screened for transposition of maxillary canines and it was found that only 6 patients had maxillary canine transposition. Data was collected and then subjected to statistical analysis....Read more

Introduction Oral health is an integral part of general health [19]. Dentofacial appearance has a lot to do with the way the people are perceived in the society [14]. Adolescents with signifcant dentofacial inhar- monies are considered at risk for negative self-esteem and social maladjustments [18, 55] . Malocclusion is regarded as an irregular- ity of the teeth or a mal-relationship between the dental arches beyond the normal range [46]. Severe malocclusion can be a social handicap [25]. Malocclusion can cause different problems for the patient, such as psychosocial problem related to impaired dentofacial esthetics, problems with oral functions including diffculty in jaw movements, temporo- mandibular joint disturbances, diffculty in mastication, swallow- ing and speech, greater susceptibility to trauma and accentuated periodontal disease [62, 23, 63]. The prevalence of malocclusion varies in different parts of the world among various populations [16, 44, 22]. Knowledge about the distribution of different malocclusions may help orthodon- tic practitioners better understand the existent problem in a ge- ographic location and help them in the proper orientation and management of treatment possibilities [32, 42, 17]. Transposition is a relatively rare dental anomaly, characterized by Abstract Tooth transposition is defned as a type of eruption anomaly where there is either an exchange of position between two adjacent teeth, or the development and eruption of a tooth in a position normally occupied by another non-adjacent tooth. The canine is one of the most commonly involved teeth in the transposition phenomenon. Early diagnosis of a developing transposition is extremely important and has a great infuence on prognosis. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of maxillary canine transposition among patients visiting a private dental college. A retrospective study was conducted using the patient records from Saveetha Dental College, Chennai from June 2019 - April 2020. The study population included case records of patients who reported for orthodontic treatment. Records of 986 patients were screened for transposition of max- illary canines and it was found that only 6 patients had maxillary canine transposition. Data was collected and then subjected to statistical analysis. Microsoft Excel 2016 (Microsoft offce 10) data spreadsheet was used to collect data and later exported to SPSS IBM (version 20.0). Descriptive statistics and chi square test were employed with a level of signifcance set at p<0.05. About 59.4% of the patients who reported for orthodontic treatment were adolescents between the age group of 15-20 years and 40.6% were adults between 20-45 years. 48.02% were male patients and 51.98% were females. The overall prevalence of maxillary canine transposition was 0.61%. The site of transposition was greater in lateral incisors (66.67%) followed by premolars (33.33%). There was a greater prevalence of maxillary canine transposition among adults, female population and patients with class I malocclusion, however it was not statistically signifcant (p>0.05) Keywords: Lateral Incisor; Maxillary Canine Transposition; Malocclusion; Premolar.

It is identifed as com- plete transposition when the crowns and the roots of the involved teeth exchange places in the dental arch; and incomplete transpo- sition when the crowns are transposed but the roots remain in their normal positions [26]. Tooth transposition generally occurs in the maxilla and is often associated with other dental anomalies, such as agenesis, retained primary canine and peg-shaped or small maxillary lateral incisors [49]. Transpositions affect both sexes, but female patients have been reported to outnumber male patients in the prevalence of this anomaly [50]. The condition may occur both unilaterally or bilaterally, but a greater incidence of unilateral cases has been reported. Left side dominance has also been reported [12]. The canine is one of the most commonly involved teeth in the trans- position phenomenon. Because of the high incidence of retained deciduous canines associated with tooth transposition, some au- thors report deciduous teeth as being the primary etiologic factor of this anomaly. The intraosseous migration of the canine, trauma to the deciduous tooth, and the presence of cysts and pathologies have also been suggested [27]. The canine shows the highest inci- dence of transposition with the frst premolar, less often with the lateral incisor, rarely with the central incisor and extremely rarely with the second premolar or frst molar [10]. Transpositions were classifed according to Peck et al. [36] as Maxillary canine-frst premolar (Mx.C.P1) Maxillary canine-lateral incisor (Mx.C.I2) Maxillary canine to frst molar site (Mx.C to M1) Maxillary lateral incisor-central incisor (Mx.I2.I1) Maxillary canine to central incisor site (Mx.C to I1) Mandibular lateral incisor-canine (Mnd.I2.C) Early diagnosis of a developing transposition is extremely im- portant and has a great infuence on prognosis [58]. This may usually be performed by a conventional panoramic radiographic examination when the patient is between 6 and 8 years of age [6]. When the alteration is detected early, interceptive procedures including extraction of deciduous teeth and placement of erup- tion guides for the permanent teeth may be performed, thus preventing complete development of the anomaly. On the other hand, when transposition is detected at a later stage, orthodontic planning must address the indications for against extraction and the sequence of correcting tooth positioning [66].

The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of maxillary canine transposition in subjects visiting a university hospital setup. Materials and Methods Study design and setting: This pilot retrospective study examined the case records of pa- tients who underwent treatment from June 2019 - April 2020 at Saveetha dental college, Chennai. The study population included case records of orthodontic patients, selected by non-probability purposive sampling. Pediatric patients with primary dentition, completely edentulous patients and denture wearers were exclud- ed from the study. Ethical approval: Ethical approval was obtained from the Institutional Ethics Committee of the University (SDC/SIHEC/2020/DIASDA- TA/0619-0320). Data collection: Records of 986 patients who reported for orthodontic treatment were reviewed and analysed. Relevant data such as patient age, sex, type of malocclusion, prevalence of maxillary canine trans- position and site of transposition were recorded. Repeated pa- tient records and incomplete records were excluded. Data was verifed by an external reviewer. Statistical analysis: Data was recorded in Microsoft Excel 2016 (Microsoft offce 10) and later exported to the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS IBM version 20.0) and subjected to statistical analysis. De- scriptive statistics and chi square test were employed with a level of signifcance set at p<0.05. Results & Discussion The data for this retrospective study was based on residents of Chennai seeking treatment at a University hospital setup in Chen- nai. This study aims to elucidate the importance of early diagnosis of transposition and appropriate intervention to provide the best aesthetic and functional outcome. About 59.4% of the patients who reported for orthodontic treat- ment were adolescents between the age group of 15-20 years and 40.6% were adults between 20-45 years [Figure 1]. 48.02% were male patients and 51.98% were females [Figure 2]. The overall prevalence of maxillary canine transposition was 0.61% [Figure 3]. The site of transposition was greater in lateral incisors (66.67%) followed by premolars (33.33%) [Figure 4]. There was no signifcant association between age and maxillary canine transposition (p>0.05), but there was a higher prevalence among adults (0.41%) when compared to adolescents (0.2%) [Fig- ure 5, Table 1]. 0.41% of females and 0.2% of males had maxillary canine trans- position, showing a female predilection.

In Japanese population, the reported prevalence of tooth transposition is 0.065% in the general population [3] and 0.660% in orthodontic patients [68]. Yilmaz et al found a prevalence of 0.380% of tooth transposition in a Turkish population [67] Buenviaje and Rapp reported a prevalence of transposed teeth of 0.080% in a population of children aged 2–12 years [7]. It seems that prevalence of transposition differs significantly according to race and region of sample selection. In previous literature, it has been stated that the most common type of transposition is between the canine and first maxillary premolar, followed by transposition between the canine and the lateral incisor, central incisor and second premolar [51]. Contrastingly, the site of transposition in this study has a preponderance towards lateral incisor (66.67%), followed by premolar (33.33%). This was similar to a study by Abu-Hussein Muhamad et al, where maxillary canine-lateral incisor transposition was found to have a higher frequency than maxillary canine-first premolar transposition in Israelian population [2]. The results of this study show a higher prevalence of maxillary canine transposition among adults (0.41%), followed by adolescents (0.2%) in the current population of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment. However, there was no statistically significant correlation between age and maxillary canine transposition and no previous studies have been carried out to explain the same. Maxillary canine transposition has a female predilection with a prevalence of 0.41% out of 0.61% in this study but there is no statistical significance. Most of the previous studies had equivalent results in agreement with the findings of this study.In a study by Shapira Y et al, females were found to have 60% more transposition than males[52]. Another study by Plunket D.J et al, showed that females had 63% of the total prevalence of maxillary canine transposition [37]. The prevalence of tooth transposition did not differ statistically between males (0.20%) and females (0.30%) (P = .884) in a meta-analysis by Moschos A. Papadopoulos et al. [33]. Patients with class I malocclusion had a higher prevalence of maxillary canine transposition (0.41%), followed by patients with class II malocclusion (0.2%) in the current study. This was similar to a study by Kavadia-Tsatala S et al, where only three of the total group of 16 subjects with tooth transpositions (19%) exhibited Angle Class II division 1 malocclusion and the rest(81%) Angle Class I [24]. In a study of the relationship between tooth transposition and malocclusions, the frequency of prevalence was 0.5% for the Class III patients, while the Class II division 1 patients exhibited no transposition [5]. Our institution is passionate about high quality evidence based research and has excelled in various fields ( (Jayaseelan Vijayashree Priyadharsini 2019 [60]; Pc, Marimuthu, and Devadoss 2018 [34]; Ramesh et al. 2018 [41]; Ramadurai et al. 2019 [40]; Sridharan et al. 2019 [56]; Ezhilarasan, Apoorva, and Ashok Vardhan 2019 [15]; Mathew et al. 2020 [29]; Samuel 2021 https://scidoc.org/IJDOS.php [47]; R et al. 2020 [43]; Chandrasekar et al. 2020 [9]; J. Vijayashree Priyadharsini, Smiline Girija, and Paramasivam 2018 [38]). We hope this study adds to this rich legacy. Even though a few studies show contradictory findings, the overall consensus was in agreement with the results of the present study. The results of this study have to be interpreted with the geographic limitation of the study population and the sample size selected. Hence it cannot be generalized to other populations of geographic and cultural variation. Conclusion Within the limits of this study, the overall prevalence of maxillary canine transposition in the South Indian population was 0.61%. The most common site of transposition was lateral incisor followed by premolar, with a higher prevalence among adults, female population and patients with class 1 malocclusion. However, there was no statistical significance between age, gender, type of malocclusion and maxillary canine transposition. References [1]. Abitha T, Santhanam A.
