Abstract
Transmigration is a rare occurrence relating to the movement of a mand ibular canine across the mid-line of the mandible. Two cases are prese nted where patients referred for assessment of third molar problems su bsequently revealed on radiological examination the asymptomatic pheno menon of transmigration. With dental panoramic radiography becoming mo re widespread among dental practitioners it is possible that more case of transmigration will be observed.
