“…In the present article, transmigration was diagnosed in adolescent girls. Other authors have also noted that the complication occurs more frequently in female patients and usually develops during puberty [4,7,19,20]. One of the cases described above involved a very rare bilateral displacement of canines in the mandible - three of the four transmigrating canines had been displaced from the left to the right side.…”

“…However, this approach is difficult and depends greatly on the maturity as well as the position and degree of tooth transmigration. Many authors have opted to observe this disorder, because the process is asymptomatic in most patients [3,7,15,17,19]. However, it is absolutely essential that a follow-up X-ray be taken, in order to assess any possible development of dentigerous cysts, root resorption of adjacent teeth or potential infection foci.…”

Transmigration is a tooth pathology in which the migrating tooth bud passes the median plane. Methods: This study is a presentation of the diagnostic and therapeutic outcomes in the cases of 4 stomach teeth transmigrations diagnosed in 3 patients with mandibular retrognathia which was a complication after osteitis in the postnatal period and infancy. Results: Extending imaging diagnostics to include CT, most preferably CBCT, makes it possible to precisely evaluate a transmigrated canine’s position and to plan a course of treatment. Conclusions: Planning of the treatment of teeth in transmigration in patients with temporomandibular ankylosis should be done by a team consisting of an orthodontist and a surgeon.

“…27,30 Treatment considerations for transmigrated teeth depend on the stage of development, distance of migration, angulation when they are identified and whether the patient is symptomatic or not. Treatment options proposed for transmigrated mandibular canines are surgical removal, auto-transplantation and surgical exposure with orthodontic alignment.…”

Transmigration typically affects the mandibular canines. These teeth usually remain impacted and asymptomatic but in some cases they ectopically erupt in the midline or next to the contralateral side. Transmigrated teeth can cause neurologic symptoms and pressure resorption of the adjacent teeth roots. A 15-year-old girl was referred to our clinic complaining of pain in the inferior incisives. On intraoral examination, right mandibular deciduous canine was seen to be retained. Panoramic radiograph revealed a horizontally impacted right mandibular permanent canine migrated toward the midline and located below the apices of the incisives. The tooth was surgically removed under general anesthesia. The presence of an overretained mandibular deciduous canine should always be investigated radiographically. © 2015 Sociedade Portuguesa de Estomatologia e Medicina Dentária.

Transmigração de canino mandibular impactado -Caso Clínico Palavras-chave:Erupção dentária ectópica Mandíbula Canino Patologia Dente impactado r e s u m o A transmigração é um fenómeno raro no qual dentes não erupcionados migram através da linha média maxilar ou mandibular. A transmigração, geralmente, afeta os caninos mandibulares. Normalmente estes dentes permanecem impactados e assintomáticos mas em alguns casos podem erupcionar na linha média ou na região do canino contralateral. Os dentes transmigrados podem originar sintomas tais como dor ou reabsorção das raízes dos dentes adjacentes. Uma menina de 15 anos de idade compareceu a nossa consulta referindo dor nos incisivos inferiores. Ao exame clínico foi possível verificar a presença na arcada do canino mandibular direito decíduo.

Aims and Objectives:Transmigration is a rare phenomenon seen almost exclusively in the mandibular canines. The aim of the present study is to review transmigration phenomenon.Materials and Methods:Appropriate guidelines for a systematic review were followed. The time period selected for the present systematic review was 2001–2016. The studies were selected from various electronic databases on the basis of their title, study, design, keywords, and abstracts. A total of 150 citations were searched initially, and after proper screening, 59 relevant articles were included. Additional data was obtained by searching journals and reference lists.Results:The literature search shows that transmigration is more frequent in the mandible than maxilla. The etiology of the condition is obscure; however, multiple factors have been attributed to the condition. They are more readily recognized now with the advent of panoramic radiographs. Transmigration is a rare anomaly causing varied manifestations and requires an interdisciplinary approach for management.Conclusion:Early diagnosis of impacted canines is mandatory for timely treatment to ensure facial harmony and improved function.

Bilateral Transmigration of Mandibular Canines: A Rare Occurrence

Abstract: Transmigration is a phenomenon in which an unerupted tooth migrates and crosses the midline. Transmigration of the mandibular permanent canine is a rare phenomenon. We report a case of bilateral transmigrated mandibular canines, which presented as pain in the lower anterior teeth.
