Hypodontia Associated With Troubles Of Eruption – Case Report

Abstract

Transposition of teeth is a severe problem, which usually affects the cuspid-first premolar area. It is frequently associated with other dental anomalies such as tooth agenesis, peg-shaped maxillary lateral incisors, retained deciduous teeth, malpositions of the adjacent teeth and other teeth malformations. This paper describes the orthodontic management with fixed appliances of a case of bilateral upper cuspid- first premolar transposition associated with congenital absence of an upper lateral incisor and a lower second premolar and a peg-shaped upper lateral incisor.
