Objective: To evaluate of characteristics of dental transposition in digital panoramic radiographs of pediatric patients. Methods: A transversal, descriptive and retrospective study was carried out with 2386 digital panoramic radiographs of patients who are among 6 and 17, attended at Cayetano Heredia University dental center from 2015 to 2018. Results: The dental transposition frequency was 0.96%, of which 52.17% were female and the complete den­tal transpositions were 96.55%. According to the localization in the right-upper quadrant represents 51.72% and left-upper quadrant represents 48.28%. The premolar maxillary canines’ transpositions are most usual and represents 82.76%. Conclusions: The dental transposition frequency was low, the complete dental transposition was more common, and they were located on the upper maxilla with a predilection on the right side. The canine tooth and...

Introducción: La transposición dental (TD) representa una rara anomalía y una de las situaciones clínicas más difíciles de tratar. Es una alteración caracterizada por un intercambio de posición de 2 dientes adyacentes, o el desarrollo o erupción de un diente en una posición donde normalmente se sitúa un diente no adyacente. Objetivo: Evaluar las características de la transposición dental en radiografías panorámicas digitales de pacientes pediátricos. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio de diseño transversal, descriptivo y retrospectivo con radiografías panorámicas digitales de pacientes entre 6 y 17 años de edad, atendidos en el centro dental docente -sede central- de la Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia durante los años 2015 a 2018 que cumplieron que con los criterios de selección. Resultados: Se evaluaron un total de 2386 radiografías panorámicas di...
