Abstract
A permanent tooth that grows and emerges from the same location of the dental arch as the other permanent teeth is a rare event. Unilateral transposition has been reported more often than bilateral transposition, with the left side of the body being affected more frequently than the right. With a frequency rate of 0.03 percent, the Mn.I2.C transposition is the rarest of all transpositions. In this unusual case report on a mandibular lateral incisor-canine transposition, dento-alveolar concerns such as arch length disparities and tooth material differences are addressed (Mn.I2.C).
