“…In a case where surgical exposure cannot be done or when a canine is impacted and positioned unfavorably, extraction can be done with subsequent prosthetic restoration using either an implant or a fixed dental prosthesis [ 3 ]. Surgical repositioning, 4 out of 5, may help place the transposed teeth in their correct position and then fine-tune them with orthodontic treatment [ 8 ]. In cases where the canine is partly or significantly displaced, it is arguably correct to transplant the canine back to the right position [ 9 ].…”

The transposition of teeth is an infrequent dental abnormality characterized by the exchange of position between two adjacent teeth. This report presents a unique case of transposition involving the maxillary right canine and lateral incisor in a 20-year-old female patient. Clinical assessment and radiographic evaluation revealed the unconventional positioning of the affected teeth. Treatment planning necessitated collaborative efforts between orthodontic specialists to achieve optimal esthetic and functional outcomes. The patient underwent a comprehensive treatment regimen, including orthodontic alignment by distal drifting of the canine and mesial shifting of the lateral incisor. Subsequent long-term follow-ups confirmed stable occlusion and satisfactory esthetics in a time period of 18 months. This case underscores the significance of precise diagnosis and a multidisciplinary approach in managing intricate dental anomalies such as tooth transposition.

Validity of Crown - To - Root Ratio as a Prognostic Tool in Clinical Practice

The relationship between the portion of the tooth coronal to the alveolar crest of bone compared with the portion embedded in it, has always been regarded as a vital aid in predicting the prognosis of teeth. However, controversy persists as to its impact on diagnosis and treatment planning. This article critically reviews the available literature on the crown-to-root ratio assessment and the shift in paradigm related to the criteria for evaluation of abutment use of periodontally compromised teeth. Also various treatment modalities present to improve an unfavourable crown-toroot ratio have been stated. A Medline search was completed for the time period from 1961 to 2005, along with a manual search to locate relevant peer reviewed articles and textbooks published in English. There was a scarcity of evidence-based research on the topic. Although the use of crown-toroot ratio along with other clinical indices may offer the best clinical predictors, no definite recommendations could be ascertained.
