Abstract

Transmigration of permanent mandibular canines is a very rare phenomenon and has no definite etiology. Most of them are asymptomatic, impacted, and commonly involve the left canines. The eruption of transmigrated canines is even rarer. The purpose of this paper was to review the literature on erupted transmigrated mandibular canines and report a rare case of it in a 13-year-old girl with a transmigrated permanent right canine corresponding to the least frequent Mupparapu type 5 pattern.
