Abstract

Objective: To present a rare case of bimaxillary transmigration of impacted canines. Discussion: Preeruptivemigration of a tooth across the midline is termed transmigration. Transmigration typically affects the mandibular canines, but occurs rarely in maxillary canines as well. Transmigration of mandibular canine across the midline is rare. An even less common finding is transmigration of maxillary canine across the midline. The least common finding is bimaxillary occurrence of canines transmigration. Conclusion: Migration of both upper and lower canine teeth on the same side across the midline is called bimaxillary transmigration, which is a very rare phenomenon of oral and maxillofacial complex, often undetected in routine dental examination, neither clinical, nor periapical radiographic examination.
