Abstract

Transmigration of mandibular canines is a rare dental anomaly characterized by the migration of an unerupted canine across the mandibular midline. With a reported prevalence between 0.1%–0.9%, it occurs more frequently among females and is commonly associated with labial migration, especially on the left side [6]. Though initially asymptomatic, transmigration may lead to serious complications if left undiagnosed. This report presents a Type 1 transmigration of tooth #33 in an 18-year-old female, managed through surgical extraction following CBCT evaluation.
