Impaction

TERMINOLOGIES: Impacted tooth, Unerupted tooth & Malposed tooth

IMPACTED TOOTH: it’s the tooth that has didn’t erupt fully or partly to its correct position within the dental arch and its eruption potential has been lost.

UNERUPTED TOOTH:
it’s a tooth that’s within the method of eruption and is probably going to erupt supported clinical and picture taking findings.

MALPOSED TEETH :A tooth unerupted or erupted that is in AN abnormal position within the jaw or within the mandibular bone.
COMMONLY IMPACTED TEETH

  • Mandibular third molar
  • Maxillary third molar
  • Maxillary canine
  • Mandibular tooth
  • Maxillary tooth
  • Mandibular canine
  • Maxillary central tooth
  • Maxillary lateral tooth.

CAUSES OF IMPACTION

LOCAL CAUSE

  • Obstruction for eruption
  • Lack of area
  • Ankylosis of primary or adult tooth
  • Nonabsorbing, over maintained tooth
  • Nonabsorbing alveolar bone
  • Ectopic position of tooth bud
  • Dilaceration of roots
  • Soft tissue or bony lesions- pathology habits.
  • SYSTEMIC issue

Prenatal causes- heredity

  • Postnatal-tuberculosis, anaemia, ricketts,malnutrition.
  • Endocrinal disorders of thyroid, endocrine, pit.gland.
  • Hereditary- coupled disorders- osteoporesis, cleftpalate.

INDICATION

  • Recurrent pericoronitis- is that the inflammation of the animal tissue encompassing a crown of a partly erupted tooth.
  • Deep dentistry pocket- related to partly erupted tooth.
  • Prior to dental medicine treatment- to regulate the tooth situation within the mandibular bone.
  • Prevention of root biological process and tooth decay.
  • Prevention of pathological fractures.
  • Management of cysts and tumors. symptom of odontogenic origin, Management of preprosthetic issues, Prophylactic removal

SIGN AND SYMPTOMS

Pain, problem in manduction, paresthesia of lip, Swelling of retro-molar tissue, Soreness, Erythemia of overlaying soft tissue or plate, Trismus, Facial swelling of the affected aspect, Raised temperature, Regional lymphodenopathy.

RISK OF NON INTERVENTION

  • Crowding of dentition
  • Resorption of adjacent tooth and dentistry standing
  • Development of pathological conditions like infection, cysts, tumors.
