Teeth01:15

Teeth

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
Migration00:53

Migration

Migration is long-range, seasonal movement from one region or habitat to another. This common strategy, carried out by many different organisms around the world, is an adaptive response that typically corresponds to changes in an organism’s environment, like resource availability or climate. Migrations can involve huge groups of thousands of animals as well as single individuals traveling alone and can range from thousands of kilometers to just a few hundred meters.
Tooth Anatomy01:21

Tooth Anatomy

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
Cranial Bones: Lateral View01:27

Cranial Bones: Lateral View

The lateral view of the cranium is dominated by temporal, sphenoid, and ethmoid bones.
The temporal bone forms the lower lateral side of the skull. The temporal bone is subdivided into several regions. The flattened upper portion is the squamous portion of the temporal bone. Below this area and projecting anteriorly is the zygomatic process of the temporal bone, which forms the posterior portion of the zygomatic arch. Posteriorly is the mastoid portion of the temporal bone. Projecting...

Summary

Transmigrant maxillary canines, a rare dental anomaly, were found in 0.2% of patients. This study details their incidence, demographics, and characteristics, noting they are typically unilateral and unassociated with pathology.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Orthodontics

Background:

  • Transmigrant teeth, particularly canines, are a documented phenomenon.
  • While mandibular canine transmigration is more commonly studied, maxillary canine transmigration is less understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the incidence and patterns of transmigrant maxillary canines.
  • To analyze demographic factors and associated pathologies of this condition.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective review of 6000 patient records from oral and maxillofacial surgery services (1998-2007).
  • Data collected included canine localization (right/left), number, patient sex and age, retained deciduous canines, and associated pathology.

Main Results:

  • 12 patients (0.2% of 6000) presented with transmigrated maxillary canines.
  • The condition affected 6 males and 6 females, with ages ranging from 15 to 57.
  • All cases were unilateral, with equal distribution between left and right sides; no associated pathology was observed.

Conclusions:

  • Canine transmigration occurs in the maxilla as well as the mandible.
  • Further research is needed to classify transmigrant maxillary canines and clarify their etiology and pathway.
  • Understanding this rare phenomenon is crucial for comprehensive dental and orthodontic treatment planning.
