What is an Impacted Teeth?
There are multiple reasons for the teeth to remain in the jawbone, but one of the most common reasons is that there is no room for permanent teeth due to the failure of the primary teeth to fall out or not to be pulled out on time.
· Genetic factors,
Neighboring teeth are displaced, closing the front of the tooth,
· Jaw stenosis,
Untreated caries of milk teeth that are about to erupt,
Infection and inflammation.
The reasons listed above are some of the factors that affect the formation of impacted teeth. In some patients, even a single cause may cause the teeth to be buried, while in others, impacted teeth may occur due to the combination of more than one factor.
Which teeth are more impacted?
It would not be correct to say that "these teeth will remain buried". This may vary from person to person. However, impacted cases are more common in lower wisdom teeth, upper wisdom teeth and triple incisors.
What are the harms of impacted teeth?
The fact that the teeth do not fulfill their functional properties, and staying away from the aesthetic appearance is also among the disadvantages. These teeth, whose treatment is short, may require orthodontic treatment, and the specialist dentist decides at what stage and how the tooth should be treated.
Impacted teeth must first undergo orthodontic treatment. Especially the incisors, which are more important in terms of aesthetics, should definitely be treated. It is examined by the embedded dentist and decided whether to treat it or not, because in some cases, treatment is not necessary and there may be no harm to the person. This is decided by the orthodontist.
How are impacted teeth extracted?
Impacted teeth can be treated with local anesthesia or a method called “sedation”, after examining in detail by the specialist, the position of the tooth, its effect on other teeth and the jaw structure. Sedation is the name and method given to putting the patient to sleep with certain drugs.
When we say impacted teeth, the first thing that comes to mind is wisdom teeth, premolars and canines. Wisdom dental treatment usually results in extraction if the position is distorted. If you have been diagnosed with charcoal in your canine teeth, first of all, the orthodontist should examine it for the correct treatment and inform about the treatment.
