Teeth that have not erupted when they should have erupted and remain under the gum or bone are called impacted teeth.
The wisdom teeth, canines and premolars can also remain impacted. If it is determined that they cannot be replaced orthodontically (with braces), they must be extracted by maxillofacial surgeons in the same way.
Symptoms of impacted tooth can be listed as follows in general;
There are many factors that affect the impacted teeth.
The reasons for impacted teeth can be listed as follows;
Extraction of impacted teeth is one of the most frequently asked questions by patients. If the impacted teeth are in an area that will affect the aesthetics and function of the patient, they should be evaluated orthodontically and, if possible, should be replaced with orthodontic treatment. In this way, while the aesthetic and functional problem caused by the lack of the impacted tooth is eliminated, the possible damages that the impacted tooth may cause are also eliminated.
If the impacted tooth cannot be moved orthodontically, alternative treatments can be considered.
These treatments can be surgical extraction of the tooth, that is, the extraction of the impacted tooth and leaving it in place, provided that it is followed up at certain intervals.
The spontaneous eruption of an impacted tooth depends on its position in the bone. Sometimes impacted teeth can come out spontaneously depending on their position in the bone.
Impacted teeth can cause pain in the jawbone by pressing on adjacent teeth. However, depending on the location of the impacted tooth, they can cause caries in neighboring teeth.
Canines, or canines, can sometimes remain impacted. In this case, the teeth are located under the gums, inside the jawbone. Impacted canines cannot reach the oral cavity. Impacted canines in the upper jaw are often located in the palate and milk canines are often found in the mouth.
