Q

Management of Impacted Teeth
General Principles
* All impactions are potentially?
* Prudent care requires?
* In certain selected cases what can be appropriate
* Pathologic conditions are more common with ?

A
  • All impactions are potentially pathologic – PREVENTION.
  • Prudent care requires removal, exposure, or repositioning.
  • In certain selected cases, long term monitoring with necessary
    patient education is appropriate.
  • Pathologic conditions are more common with increasing age.
27
Q

General Principles
* Surgery is more difficult and associated with more complications
with?
* Surgery is more difficult if what is present?
* Surgery in younger patients (<25 years old) associated with?
* Third Molar Surgery performed ideally when roots are?

A
  • Surgery is more difficult and associated with more complications
    with increased age (oral and systemic compromises)
  • Surgery is more difficult if symptoms present (Acute pain and
    infection)
  • Surgery in younger patients (<25 years old) associated with better
    healing and less morbidity.
  • Third Molar Surgery performed ideally when roots are 1/2 to
    2/3rds formed
28
Q

Indications For Removal of Impacted Teeth
* Facilitate the management of or limit progression of?
* caries?
* pulp?
* infection?
* Preventive or prophylactic?
* Ectopic?

A

Indications For Removal of Impacted Teeth
* Facilitate the management of or limit progression of periodontal
disease
* Non-restorable caries
* Non-treatable pulpal lesions
* Acute or chronic infection (e.g., cellulitis, abscess, pericoronitis)
* Preventive or prophylactic removal
* Ectopic position

29
Q

Indications For Removal of Impacted Teeth
* Internal or external?
* prothesis?
* ortho?

A
  • Internal or external resorption of tooth of adjacent teeth
  • Facilitate prosthetic rehabilitation
  • Facilitate orthodontic movement and promote dental stability
  • Orthodontic abnormalities (e.g., arch length/tooth size
    discrepancies, malposed/impacted second molars
30
Q

Indications For Removal of Impacted Teeth
* Pathology?
* Tooth interfering with?
* Prophylactic removal?

A
  • Pathology associated with tooth follicle (e.g., cysts, tumors)
  • Tooth interfering with orthognathic, reconstructive surgery,
    trauma or tumor surgery
  • Prophylactic removal in patients with certain medical or surgical conditions or treatments (e.g. organ transplant, alloplastic implants, chemotherapy, radiation therapy)

34
Q

Contraindications to the Removal of Impacted Teeth
* age?
* Medical conditions?
* Surgical morbidity?
* Good outcome with?

A
  • Extremes in age (e.g. 80 yr old patient with full bony impaction)
  • Medical condition (e.g. poor surgical candidate like patient on I.V Bisphosphonates, Head and Neck irradiation, significantly compromised cardiac status)
  • Surgical morbidity(e.g., neurosensory disturbance, fracture,
    injury to adjacent teeth or structures,etc.)
  • Good outcome with orthodontic eruption
35
Q

Evaluation of Impacted Teeth

A

The evaluation of the impacted tooth and diagnosis of associated problems are based on:
* History
* Clinical examination
* Radiography

36
Q

Evaluation of Impacted Teeth
History

A
  • Teeth with or without history of pain and swelling of overlying mucosa.
  • Inflammation around the crown of the tooth that make more acute symptoms (Pericoronitis).
  • Mouth opening
  • Airway Exam
  • TMJ Exam
37
Q

Pericoronitis - Diagnosis
\

A
  • lnfection of the soft tissue (operculum) around the crown of a
    partially impacted tooth
  • Caused by normal oral flora
  • Compromised host defenses
  • Trauma (occlusal)
  • Food entrapment
38
Q

Pericoronitis Treatment

A
  • Removal of offending tooth
  • Removal of opposing tooth
  • Irrigation/debridement
  • Removal of operculum
  • Incision and drainage of infection
  • Antibiotic therapy
39
Q

Impacted teeth
Clinical Examination

A
  • Identify caries and periodontal diseases (pain might be fromadjacent carious tooth, this would influence the proposed treatment planning)
  • Vitality test of all teeth in doubt.
  • Examination for sign of infection (swelling, discharge, trismus and enlarged lymph nodes)
  • Facial asymmetry and jaw bone expansion.
40
Q

Status of tooth in question based on clinical evaluation

A
  • Erupted but non-functional (no opposing, tilted, carious)
  • Partially erupted (covered partially with soft tissue)
  • Partially erupted with sign of recurrent infection
  • Truly impacted (bony or soft tissue)
  • Association with pathological lesio
41
Q

Radiographic Assessments

A

Radiographic Assessment
* Periapical radiograph
* Orthopantomogram (OPG) – Standard of care
* Cone Beam C.T.Scan

42
Q

Impacted teeth
Radiographic Examination
* To identify the impacted tooth and?
* To identify the position of? relative to?
* To disclose the degree and orientation of ?
* To examine the configuration of?
* To examine the existence of?

A
  • To identify the impacted tooth and the density of the surrounding
    bone.
  • To identify the position of the impacted tooth in the jaw and its
    relation to adjacent teeth and other vital structures (Maxillary
    Sinus, Inferior Alveolar Canal)
  • To disclose the degree and orientation of impaction.
  • To examine the configuration of the roots (curvature, numbers,
    hypercemntosis, bulbous, fused or diverged)
  • To examine the existence of pathological development around the impacted tooth
43
Q

Radiographic predictors of nerve injury

A

– Darkening of root
– Deflection of root
– Narrowing of root
