A Dental Transposition: Literature Review and Clinical Management

Abstract: Tooth transposition is a rare developmental anomaly characterized by positional interchange of two teeth within the same quadrant. Its incidence compromises the esthetics and function to a significant degree. The current literature review is offered to highlight certain aspects of this anomaly to develop an understanding that might be helpful in management for restoration of esthetics and function of affected patients. The dental transposition of the teeth were classified into 2 types that are complete transposition and incomplete. A complete dental transposition describes a condition in which the dental crown and all structure of the dental root have a parallel position to the exchanged positionsThis paper aims to report the successful treatment of a canine complete transposition case with upper lateral incisor done at a patient. This dental transposition procedure requires a long time treatment, because this is done slowly and carefully. The treatment of transposition case between canines with upper lateral incisor that are done to the patient is successful enough.
