Transmigration of a tooth is a rare, infrequent usually symptomless eruptive disorder and is defined as the phenomenon of an unerupted tooth crossing the midline or when more than half of the impacted tooth has migrated across the midline. The exact etiology of the disorder still remains obscure, varied mechanical and biological factors as an etiology have been proposed over the years. This condition usually affects maxillary and mandibular cuspids with various classifications projected in the literature, in this article we report a new variant of unilateral transmigration of canine in the mandibular arch which has not been documented till date.
