[Bilateral transposition in the mandible].

Abstract

A bilateral case of transposition of canines and lateral incisives developing in the lower jaw of an eleven year-old age is reported in this paper. The very low occurrence of the condition is emphasized by the author and usually the lesion is diagnosed late, once the disturbance is already established. In the case herewith reported, the advanced eruption of the involved teeth determined the need for orthodontic treatment.
