Abstract
Tooth transposition is a rare anomaly resulting in the interchanged position of 2 permanent teeth. Etiology of tooth transposition is unclear. In human dentistry, multiple influences are described, and there is strong evidence of a genetic basis. This is the first reported case of tooth transposition in a dog.
