“…With caution, there seems to be some predominance of the maxilla over the mandible in tooth transposition. The high density of bone in the mandible might prohibit tooth transposition, hence justifying the higher frequency of maxillary occurrence (9). According to our results, maxillary transposition accounted for the majority of the cases (90%), which is in agreement with previous studies (1)(2)(3).…”

Objective: The aims of this study were to investigate the frequency and characteristics of dental transpositions and to evaluate associated dental anomalies in a large sample of Turkish Anatolian population. Study design: A retrospective study was performed using panoramic radiographs of 6983 patients (4092 females and 2891 males) ranging in age from 12 to 27 subjected to Faculty of Dentistry at the University of Ataturk (Erzurum, Turkey) between 2005 and 2008. For each patient with tooth transposition we recorded the demographic variables (including age, sex), history of trauma, type, classification, and location of tooth transpositions, and associated dental anomalies. The Pearson chi-squared test was used to determine potential differences in the distribution of tooth transposition when stratified by gender. Results: Tooth transposition was detected in 19 subjects (0.27%), with a 2.2:1 female male ratio (P= 0.38). The most commonly observed transposition was maxillary canine-lateral incisor (60%). The frequencies of complete and incomplete transpositions were equal (10/10) and it was more common in the left side than in the right side (11/9). Of the 19 subjects, 10.5% had a peg shaped lateral incisor, 21.1% one congenitally missing tooth excluding third molar. Supernumerary tooth, impacted teeth excluding third molars, transmigrated tooth, and dilacerations were also observed. Conclusion: The frequency of tooth transposition was 0.27% in a Turkish Anatolian population and maxillary canine-lateral incisor was the most frequently observed transposition. Retained primary teeth were the most frequently observed dental anomaly in all types of tooth transposition.

“…On the other hand, Chattopadhyay and Srinivas (4) studied 20 patients with maxillary tooth transposition in India and found that more male than female patients were affected. Papadopoulos et al (12,13) performed a meta-analysis of data from the literature and found no significant difference in predilection between the sexes. However, only a few studies were included in that meta-analysis, and the authors conceded that hetero- (12).…”

“…However, a recent literature review has suggested that the evidence pointing to those associations is weak, as most reports on tooth transposition have comprised mainly case series, case reports, or studies of small samples (12). In a meta-analysis of the existing evidence, Papadopoulos et al (12) systematically reviewed the literature on tooth transposition and found only five studies that fulfilled their criteria. Four of those studies involved 21 or fewer subjects.…”

“…Four of those studies involved 21 or fewer subjects. Three of them involved patients seen at dental clinics or dental schools, one involved orthodontic patients, and one had not defined the study sample (12). Three of the studies included true cases exclusively, while the others recruited both true cases and cases of pseudotransposition.…”

Abstract:The published literature on tooth transposition includes only a few studies that have involved more than 50 subjects. The aim of the present study was to investigate the prevalence of true maxillary tooth transposition and possible associated dental anomalies in a larger sample of children. The dental records and radiographs of children who had been diagnosed as having true maxillary tooth transposition at a School Dental Clinic in Hong Kong were studied retrospectively. Data were analyzed for sex and side distribution, as well as for associated dental anomalies. Trends of differences were analyzed statistically using the Fisher exact or chi-squared test. A total of 69 cases of true maxillary tooth transposition were identified and studied; its prevalence in Hong Kong Chinese children was 0.81%. More females than males were affected, and the difference between the sexes was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The prevalence of congenitally missing teeth, microdontia of the maxillary lateral incisors or dental impaction was higher in patients with maxillary tooth transposition than in the general population (P < 0.05, P < 0.0005, and P < 0.0001, respectively). The fact that patients with maxillary tooth transposition were more likely to have congenital absence or microdontia of the maxillary lateral incisors lent further support to the contention that a developmental field defect plays a role in the pathogenesis of maxillary tooth transposition.
