Mandibular lateral incisor-canine transposition (Mn.12.C): a case report
1Department of Pedodontics & Preventive Dentistry, Dental Wing, S.C.B. Medical College, Cuttack, Orissa.
Summary
Tooth transposition, a rare dental anomaly, involves teeth switching places, causing alignment issues. This case highlights a specific mandibular arch anomaly in a child, leading to midline shift and crowding.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Developmental Biology
- Oral Health
Background:
- Tooth transposition is a rare developmental anomaly where permanent teeth interchange positions.
- This condition can disrupt dental arch alignment, cause midline deviation, and lead to malocclusion.
Observation:
- A rare case of tooth transposition, specifically an Mn.12.C anomaly, was observed.
- The anomaly affected the right mandibular arch of an 11-year-old female patient.
Findings:
- The observed Mn.12.C anomaly resulted in significant dental crowding.
- A noticeable shifting of the midline was a key finding in this case.
Implications:
- Understanding rare dental anomalies like Mn.12.C is crucial for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
- Early identification and management of tooth transposition can prevent further complications like malocclusion and arch disintegration.
