CHAPTER IV: DENTAL ANOMALIES Flashcards
these are individual teeth which are unerupted because of lack of eruptive force
Embedded teeth
There is the initiation stage, and tooth development inside the jaw area, and the tooth is fully formed already, but it fails to erupt inside the oral cavity due to lack of eruptive forces.
Embedded teeth
Usually, during the root formation, the tooth starts to move out from the oral cavity. However, here there is no movement or eruptive forces.
Embedded teeth
It only continues with the tooth development and root formation.
Embedded teeth
a tooth or teeth that fail to erupt either partially or completely because of obstruction by some physical barriers
Impaction
There is completion of tooth root development, and there is erupted force, but there are some barriers that will stop the tooth from coming out on the oral cavity.
Impaction
Causes of Impaction
physical barriers
3 Causes of Impaction
- Lack of space due to crowding of the teeth
- Rotation of the tooth bud
- Density of the overlying tissue
procedure in helping the impacted 3rd molar or erupting 3rd molar to cut on the overlying tissue.
OPERCULECTOMY
procedure of removal of impacted 3rd molar or all impacted teeth.
ODONTECTOMY
FREQUENCY OF IMPACTED TEETH:
- Mandibular 3rd molar (Most common)
- Maxillary 3rd molar
- Maxillary Canine
- Mandibular Canine
- Mandibular Premolar
- Maxillary Premolar
- Maxillary Central Incisor
- Maxillary Lateral Incisor
→ Numbers 4-8 are rare cases of impacted tooth
Relation of Impacted 3rd Molar to the Ramus of the Mandible and 2nd Molar there is sufficient amount of space between the ramus of the mandible and the distal surface of the 2nd molar for the accommodation of the mesiodistal diameter (width) of the crown of the 3rd molar.
Class I
the space between the ramus of the mandible is less than the mesiodistal diameter of the crown of the 3rd molar
Class II
all or most of the 3rd molar is located in the ramus of the mandible.
Class III
highest portion of the impacted molar is in level with or above the occlusal line of the second molar
