Impacted canines are not uncommon, but movement of impacted canine crossing the midline (transmigration) is a rare phenomenon. The study discusses the case report of a transmigrated mandibular canine associated with a dentigerous cyst in a 17-yearold female patient. Mandibular canines are cornerstones of dental arch and their importance is manifested by stability of dental arch, maintenance of normal facial expression, and masticatory efficiency. Early detection of this condition by the use of radiographs, especially panoramic radiographs, and preserving the canine by orthodontic intervention or surgical transplantation are needed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
