RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: This study aimed to use 3-dimensional data to investigate the factors affecting local alveolar bone thickness in unilateral maxillary canine-lateral incisor transposition. METHODS: Pretreatment cone-beam computed tomography data of 34 patients with unilateral maxillary canine-lateral transposition were imported into Dolphin Imaging software (version 11.8; Dolphin Imaging and Management Solutions, Chatsworth, Calif) for 3-dimensional reconstruction. The age, gender, and type of transposition at the beginning of treatment were recorded. The thickness and height of the transposed canine, the labiopalatal and distomedial distance from the transposed canine to the apex of the lateral incisor, the inclination of the transposed lateral incisor, the apical height of the lateral incisor, and the alveolar bone thickness in the apical plane were measured. Multiple linear regression analyses were applied to investigate the factors affecting alveolar bone thickness in the apical plane of the transposed lateral incisor. Two sample t test were applied to assess the difference of alveolar bone thickness in patients of different ages. RESULTS: The 10 boys and 24 girls had a mean age of 12.26 ± 2.34 years. In all 34 participants, the apical alveolar bone thickness of transposed lateral incisors was significantly higher than that of the unaffected side (P <0.05). Based on multiple regression analyses, factors associated with a wider alveolar bone thickness were as follows: age (ß = -0.237; P = 0.008), the labiopalatal distance from the transposed canine to the apex of the lateral incisor (ß = 0.675; P <0.001), and the inclination of the transposed lateral incisor (ß = 0.048; P = 0.032). Patients aged <11 years had significantly thicker alveolar bone than that of patients aged >11 years (P <0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Patients with younger age, greater lateral incisor inclination, and greater labiopalatal distance between canine and lateral incisor had more alveolar bone thickness. Early treatment permits tooth movement within the thicker alveolar bone.

INTRODUCTION: A former study on orthopantomograms from young children with abnormal dental development (not canine ectopia) demonstrated that the tooth bud of the mandibular canine, compared to a stable longitudinal canine axis, could be located normally, anteriorly or posteriorly, with close relation to the first premolar. AIM: The aim of the present study is to analyse on orthopantomograms if the canine axis can demonstrate where the ectopic mandibular canine started tooth formation. MATERIALS: The material consists of orthopantomograms with ectopic mandibular canines and presence of primary mandibular canines from 47 cases (29 cases 9-21 years old and 18 cases with unknown ages). The primary canines demonstrated from minor apical resorption to more severe apical resorption. METHODS: Based on canine maturity, location of the canine axes and the interrelationships between the roots of the permanent canine and first premolar, the location from where the canine started tooth formation was determined. Canine maturity. Maturity stage below half root length and maturity stage above half root length revealed that 11 ectopic canines had less than half root length and 36 cases more than half root length. Canine axes. The canine axis, through the length of the primary canines Ax, is inserted on drawings of the orthopantomograms using the tracing programme Inkscape®. Interrelationship between roots. By visual inspection, the distance between the canine and first premolar was designated close distance, normal distance and extended distance. RESULTS: The results are divided into 3 groups. Group 1: The initial site of the permanent ectopic canine is located within the canine axis (6 cases). Group 2: The initial site of the permanent ectopic canine is located posterior to the canine axis (36 cases). Group 3: The initial site of the permanent ectopic canine is located anterior to the canine axis (5 cases). CONCLUSION: The study explained that the canine axis could divide cases of ectopic canines into three groups according to the location from where tooth formation starts. For getting closer to the pattern of the ectopic canine eruption, it is necessary to analyse series of orthopantomograms taken from the same individual over several years.

The eruptive deviation of the permanent maxillary canine must be identified early, at the beginning of the second transitional period of the mixed dentition. Acting at this moment is fundamental for its spontaneous redirection and eruption. The aim of the paper is to present a case where the extraction of the deciduous canines was the choice for redirecting the maxillary permanent canines with eruptive palatal deviation, as well as to suggest a sequence of procedures for diagnosis and choice of treatment. The success of deciduous canine extraction in redirecting the ectopic permanent canines is discussed in this case, as well as aspects that might lead to failure. Still, it highlights the importance of computed tomography for choosing conservative treatment or traction, including it in the sequential guideline for acting in these cases.

ABSTRACT Tooth transposition is one of the most difficult dental anomalies to treat in the dental clinic. Several factors must be taken into account with a view of making the best decision. The aim of this study was to discuss treatment modalities for tooth transposition, their advantages and disadvantages. Additionally, it aims at presenting a clinical case of transposition between canine and lateral incisor in the upper quadrant on the right side. The treatment of choice was extraction of one transposed tooth. A multidisciplinary approach involving Orthodontics, Cosmetic Dentistry, and Periodontology was necessary to allow proper esthetic and functional outcomes to be achieved.
RESUMO A transposição é considerada uma das anomalias dentárias mais difíceis de se administrar clinicamente. Vários fatores devem ser considerados para que a melhor decisão seja tomada. Neste artigo, o objetivo foi discutir as modalidades de tratamento da transposição dentária, suas vantagens e desvantagens, e apresentar um caso clínico de transposição entre canino e incisivo lateral na hemiarcada superior direita. A opção terapêutica de escolha foi a extração de um dos dentes transpostos, tendo-se a necessidade de uma abordagem multidisciplinar com a participação da Ortodontia, Dentística e Periodontia, a fim de que adequados resultados estéticos e funcionais fossem alcançados.

Los dientes ectópicos son órganos dentarios que se encuentran enuna región diferente a la habitual, existen publicaciones que reportanórganos dentarios ectópicos en la región maxilofacial siendo sitioscomunes el paladar, región paraorbitaria, cavidad nasal, seno maxilar, mentón, apófisis corónides y cóndilo. También se han publicado casos de zonas más alejadas como ovario o región anterior del mediastino,que por lo general están relacionados con un teratoma. En su mayoría son hallazgos radiográficos, por lo que en general son asintomáticos. Al encontrarse dentro del seno maxilar su terapéutica puede ser conservadora,bajo vigilancia clínica-radiográfi ca o quirúrgica mediante endoscopia, abordaje transnasal, Caldwell-Luc o abordaje cuadrangular. La extracción de estos órganos dentarios es necesaria por la tendencia que presentan a formar quistes, desarrollar tumores odontogénicos y desencadenar alteraciones neuropáticas. Se reporta el caso de una paciente de 32 años de edad con diagnóstico de tercer molar ectópico en región de antro maxilar.
Ectopic tooth are dental organs found in a uncomon regions. There arepublication that report ectopic tooth in the maxillofacial region beingcommon sites palate, paraorbitaria region, nasal cavity, maxillarysinus, chin, coronides process and condyle. Cases have also beenreported in non-dental areas such as ovary, anterior mediastinum regionusually related to a teratoma. Ectopic tooth are often radiographicfi ndings because they are generally asymptomatic. Its therapeuticwhen found in the maxillary sinus could be conservative under periodicclinical-radiographic vigilance. Removal of these dental organs isnecessary for their tendency to form cysts, develop odontogenic tumorsand trigger neuropathic disorders. Surgical options are endoscopic,transnasal, Caldwell Luc or quadrangular approach. We present acase of a female of 32 years old with a diagnosis of ectopic third molarin maxillary antrum.

ABSTRACT The early recognition of risk factors for the occurrence of palatally displaced canines (PDC) can increase the possibility of impaction prevention. Objective To estimate the risk of PDC occurrence in children with dental anomalies identified early during mixed dentition. Material and Methods The sample comprised 730 longitudinal orthodontic records from children (448 females and 282 males) with an initial mean age of 8.3 years (SD=1.36). The dental anomaly group (DA) included 263 records of patients with at least one dental anomaly identified in the initial or middle mixed dentition. The non-dental anomaly group (NDA) was composed of 467 records of patients with no dental anomalies. The occurrence of PDC in both groups was diagnosed using panoramic and periapical radiographs taken in the late mixed dentition or early permanent dentition. The prevalence of PDC in patients with and without early diagnosed dental anomalies was compared using the chi-square test (p<0.01), relative risk assessments (RR), and positive and negative predictive values (PPV and NPV). Results PDC frequency was 16.35% and 6.2% in DA and NDA groups, respectively. A statistically significant difference was observed between groups (p<0.01), with greater risk of PDC development in the DA group (RR=2.63). The PPV and NPV was 16% and 93%, respectively. Small maxillary lateral incisors, deciduous molar infraocclusion, and mandibular second premolar distoangulation were associated with PDC. Conclusion Children with dental anomalies diagnosed during early mixed dentition have an approximately two and a half fold increased risk of developing PDC during late mixed dentition compared with children without dental anomalies.
