Maxillary canine-first premolar transposition in two Native American skeletal samples from New Mexico.

Tooth transposition is a rare anomaly in which the position of two adjacent teeth in the dental arcade is reversed. Maxillary canine and first premolar transposition (Mx.C.P1 transposition) is most commonly observed. Data from Native Americans samples are lacking. The purpose of this study was: 1) to document the occurrence of Mx.C.P1 transposition, and 2) to generate information on the prevalence of this transposition type among world populations. Eleven cases (M = 5, F = 4, ? = 2) of Mx.C.P1 transposition were identified in skeletal samples from Pecos Pueblo (n = 500) and Sambrito Village (n = 10), both in northern New Mexico. Nine cases were unilateral, 6 affecting the right side and 3 affecting the left side. The remaining 2 cases were bilateral. The prevalence rate of Mx.C.P1 transposition in African and Native American samples, including Pecos Pueblo (1.8%), is higher than in samples from Scotland, Sweden, Saudi Arabia, and India. Mx.C.P1 transposition frequencies vary between geographically distinct populations, although sample composition may be a factor contributing to sample variation.
