Transmigration refers to unerupted tooth that has moved away from its normal developing position and crossed the midline. Transmigration is a rare anomaly and the incidence has been reported to be 0.1%. Most of the transmigrated teeth remain impacted, but infrequently they may erupt ectopically. This is a case report of a 17-year-old female with transmigrated canines. |
