PATTERN OF BILATERAL TRANSMIGRATION OF IMPACTED MANDIBULAR CANINES: A RADIOGRAPHIC STUDY OF 3 CASES
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2015, Vol 2, Issue 7
Abstract
Migration of a tooth across the midline is called TRANSMIGRATION which is a rare anomaly. Nodine (1943)1 & Thoma (1952)2 observed this condition in pre-historic skulls & living patients respectively. Ando et al (1964)3 were the first to use the term „„transmigration”. Tarsitano (1971)4 et al defined transmigration as the phenomenon of an unerupted tooth crossing the midline. Javid (1985), 5 expanded the definition to include, more than half the tooth which had passed through the midline. Joshi (2001)6 felt that the tendency of a canine to cross the barrier of the midline suture is more important consideration than the distance travelled.
