Transposition of lateral incisor and canine in two sisters- a case report and literature review.

Abstract

Transpositions are rare anomalies where there is an exchange of positions between two adjacent teeth. Treatment, ideally involves alignment of teeth, consideration for aesthetic, social and functional purposes. This article/ case report describes transposition in two sisters of age 11 and 14 year and discusses the treatment possibilities for aesthetic and functional needs. The treatment considerations encompass comprehensive caries management: restorative and endodontic treatments including a gutta percha obturation of a pulpally involved primary molar for delaying the resorption, preventive care and regular follow-ups until definitive treatment.
