Abstract EN
The purpose of this paper is to present the first case of unusual reverse oblique (110 degrees to midsagittal plane) migration of mandibular right canine crossing the jaw midline and piercing the lower border of the mandible at the level of the opposite canine and also to report two more cases of transmigrated mandibular canine and one case of transmigrating mandibular canine.
Mandibular canines are “cornerstone” of dental arch; their importance is manifested by their efficiency in masticatory function, stability of dental arch, and aid in maintaining natural facial expression.
Early detection of this anomaly can help preserving these canines by orthodontic intervention or by surgical transplantation.
This developmental anomaly is properly diagnosed by radiographic evaluation, which is primarily based on the panoramic radiograph.
In patients with overretained deciduous canines or missing permanent canines, an intraoral radiograph should be supplemented with panoramic radiograph.
This paper discusses the importance of early diagnosis of canine transmigration in treatment planning and reviews the various possible treatment options.
