AI Article Synopsis
- Transposition refers to the swapping of the positions of two teeth within the same quadrant of the dental arch, with canine transposition being the most frequent type in humans.
- The occurrence rate of maxillary canine-premolar transposition is estimated between 0.135% and 0.510%, and while the exact cause is not fully understood, it appears related to genetic factors, retained baby canines, and possible trauma.
- The article discusses the classification, incidence, causes, and treatment options for tooth transposition, aiming to assist clinicians in managing this dental anomaly.
Article Abstract
Transposition is described as an interchange in the position of two teeth within the same quadrant of the dental arch. Canine transposition is reportedly the most common transposition in human dentition. The incidence of maxillary canine-premolar transposition is reported to be 0.135-0.510%. Although the exact mechanism of canine transposition is unclear, it seems to be closely related to genetically influenced, retained deciduous canine, and a history of trauma. In this article, we focus on the classification, incidence, etiology, and treatment modalities of tooth transposition. We hope this information will help clinicians treating patients with this kind of dental anomaly.
