Transitory pre-eruptive malposition of a maxillary canine: report of a case.
The ectopical eruption of the maxillary canine has been related to many causative factors. This paper shows a transient pre-eruptive abnormal position of a maxillary canine in a 9-year-old boy. The change from the normal position of the canine occurred coincidentally with the inflammation of the adjacent lateral incisor due to injury. The canine returned to a normal path after treatment and healing of the lateral incisor.
