Each single wisdom tooth is distinctive and depending on how it grows, it can have different impact on bones and/or tissues. Their varied developments such as impaction, horizontal or slant placement may effect other teeth and cause troubles. They have to be extracted out and removal of wisdom teeth is a highly skillful job being performed by our best Maxillofacial dental surgeon in Pune.
The following 4 impactions are commonly found in patients cases.
If the impaction is between the third molar and part of the second molar, this kind is called bone impaction. It can subcategorized into vertical, horizontal, and angular depending on the way they are intersecting.
Bone Impaction (Vertical)
Impaction would cause pathosis inside the cheek bone or jaw bone.
Bone Impaction (Horizontal)
Besides leading pathosis, horizontal placement would hurt the hard tissue of the second molar to cause toothache and cavities.
Bone Impaction (Angular)
Besides leading pathosis, angular placement would hurt the hard tissue of the second molar to cause toothache and cavities.
Tissue Impaction
This is a condition in which the wisdom tooth nearly comes out of gum, or it half erupts out of gum leading to pseudo-pocket. In addition to causing pathosis, it easily tracts food debris and causes gum irritation.
Only under the X-Ray can these impactions be clearly identified.
