The oral cavity sometimes houses teeth that, due to developmental issues, fail to emerge in their correct position. Instead, they often remain dormant within the bone. However, when they start causing problems due to pressure or become sites of infection, the best solution is to have them removed.

The most frequent cases of impacted teeth are usually associated with wisdom teeth, also known as third molars. Occasionally, canines or other teeth may also be impacted in the oral cavity.

Wisdom Molar Disimpaction

Each wisdom tooth is unique, and their growth patterns can have various effects on the surrounding bone and tissues. Their diverse developments can impact adjacent teeth and create issues. When removal is necessary, the experts at DentiCare are well-equipped to assist you.

Impacted wisdom teeth can be categorized into different types:

– Bone Impaction (Vertical): This type of impaction can lead to issues within the cheekbone or jaw bone.
– Bone Impaction (Horizontal): Horizontal impaction not only causes problems but also affects the hard tissue of the second molar, potentially leading to toothaches and cavities.
– Bone Impaction (Angular): Angular impaction, like horizontal impaction, can impact the hard tissue of the second molar, potentially causing toothaches and cavities.
– Tissue Impaction: In this case, the wisdom tooth either partially erupts from the gum or nearly erupts, creating a pseudo-pocket. This type of impaction can lead to problems, including issues with the gum, as it easily traps food debris and causes irritation.
