Abstract

Tooth transposition is a rare developmental anomaly affecting less than 1% of the population. The permanent maxillary canine and 1st premolar are the most commonly affected teeth. Bilateral maxillary canine-1st premolar transpositions are extremely rare with only a handful of cases being reported in the literature. We report one such case of bilateral maxillary canine-1st premolar transposition in a 28 year old Malaysian female which was associated with other dental anomalies.
