Tooth transpositions associated with dental anomalies and treatment management in a sample of orthodontic patients.
The purpose of this study was to determine the distribution of tooth transpositions in a sample of orthodontic patients, describe the accompanying anomalies and report on the management and therapeutic outcome. Overall, the male to female ratio was 4:3, left side predominance was evident, and there was a high incidence of associated dental anomalies. Attempts to correct tooth order usually resulted in untoward effects on periodontal tissues. Consequently, individual anatomical conditions may be decisive in successful clinical management of such cases.
