Tooth transposition is the positional interchange of two adjacent teeth, which may be incomplete or complete. The root apex may remain in a normal position despite a severely displaced crown. The aim of this paper is to provide a literature review on the incidence, aetiology and treatment options for pseudo-transposed mandibular incisors. A case series is also presented highlighting the various management techniques that have been utilised in treating five cases of pseudo-transposed mandibular lateral incisors.
