teeth; Due to many factors such as genetic factors, some diseases in childhood, local problems in the eruption area of the tooth, and the lack of space in the jaws, they can not take their place in the usual row of teeth and remain impacted.
Teeth that remain completely or partially in the bone and soft tissue that have not taken their place in the normal tooth plane, although the eruption age is completed; It is defined as “Buried Tooth”.
Impacted teeth can remain embedded in the jawbone, half in the bone and half in the gingiva, or just under the gingiva. Impacted teeth can be located in the jaw vertically, horizontally or at an angle compared to other teeth.
Genetic factors in impacted teeth, some diseases that the mother had during pregnancy or childhood, some drugs used during pregnancy, narrowness of space in the jaws, early extraction or falling out of milk teeth at an early age, presence of cysts and tumors in the jaws, dental infections and various syndromes. They may remain buried for reasons such as:
The most frequently impacted teeth are the 3rd molars, known as “Twenty Years teeth”. These teeth are followed by canines (canine teeth) and premolars.
Various diseases and problems may occur due to impacted teeth:
-
Pericoronitis (Infection and abscess formation in the region)
-
Gum diseases in the region
-
Caries formation in adjacent teeth
-
Melting at the root of neighboring teeth
-
Difficulties in the manufacture and use of prosthetic teeth in the region
-
Cyst and tumor formations in the jaws
-
Pain of unknown origin
-
jaw fractures
-
Crowding in the teeth and inability to perform Orthodontic treatment (Wire treatment)
What is a Wisdom Female?
Wisdom teeth are the third molars, located at the back of the tooth row. These teeth, which usually last in their twenties, are often partially erupted or remain embedded in the jawbone due to reasons such as lack of space in the jaw, deviation in the eruption position or bone density in the relevant region.
Should Every Wisdom Female Be Extracted?
NO, wisdom teeth that have fully erupted in the mouth can be easily cleaned and do not need to be extracted unless there is any deep caries on them. However, wisdom teeth that cannot be easily cleaned with dental floss or a toothbrush, have cavities that cannot be treated, and which can rub on the cheek or tongue without mistake, causing the person to bite their cheeks and tongue involuntarily, need to be extracted.
Should Every Impacted Wisdom Be Extracted?
NO, but partially erupted wisdom teeth can rot easily because they cannot be easily cleaned by patients, and they cause a bad odor in the mouth.
Wisdom teeth, which cannot stay completely in the bone and cannot erupt, can quickly lean on the roots of the second molar next to them, causing damage to that tooth over time or sometimes forming cysts around them. While these types of teeth that are infected and cause pain and abscess should be pulled out quickly, if they do not cause any suffering, they should be kept under the supervision of your physician and should be extracted if necessary.
Does Every Wisdom Female Cause Crowding in the Front Teeth?
NO, crowding is also seen in people who do not have wisdom teeth. Because all of our teeth have a tendency to move forward without error. In case of contact disorders in the middle of the incisors, crowding becomes the subject of speech. To correct this, treatment is planned and if all teeth are moved back, wisdom teeth should be extracted.
Why Are Impacted Wisdom Teeth a Problem?
The reason why impacted wisdom teeth cause problems is that there is no genetic need for this tooth and our jaws are getting smaller. As our jaws get smaller, wisdom teeth are forced to find a place for themselves and therefore cannot come out like other teeth. The wisdom teeth, which cannot find a place for themselves, push the front tooth and press, which often causes crowding. In addition, they can easily become inflamed because they are far behind and the gingiva around them are not in the usual anatomical structure.
What are the Types of Impacted Wisdom Teeth?
• Fully impacted wisdom teeth; They usually do not cause problems. However, they need to be followed up with x-rays. Although they are fully embedded, they can press on the roots of the anterior tooth. Cyst or tumor formation can be seen around them without symptoms.
• Partially erupted wisdom teeth; They are the ones that cause the most trouble. Since they cannot come out completely, they try to come out by putting pressure on the front tooth. The gingival cut (hood) on them becomes inflamed due to the escape of food residues and bacterial growth over time. As a result of inflammation of the gum around the tooth; Pain, swelling, infection occurs. They create a suitable environment for caries.
• Fully erupted wisdom teeth; They often do not cause problems, but because they are too far behind, they are difficult to brush. For this reason, it is recommended to withdraw as a preventive measure in patients whose oral care is not very suitable.
Signs of 20 Year Old Female Inflammation or Infection
• Pain (spontaneously or by pressing on it) • Swelling (in the mouth or on the face) • Redness in the gums • Swelling of the lymph nodes under the jaw • Difficulty in swallowing • Inability to close the mouth or biting the gum on the 20-year-old tooth when it is closed, pressure.
Treatment of 20-Year-Old Female Infection;
If the patient is systemically affected due to infection, the acute inflammation should be chronicized first with antibiotic therapy. With the use of antibiotics, the infection is suppressed and only becomes chronic, but does not completely disappear. As long as the infectious agent, that is, the tooth, is there, the treatment is not complete. For this reason, the use of antibiotics may cause the patient’s complaints to disappear with an intermittent respite. But after a reasonable time, complaints will appear again. Therefore, in order to complete the treatment, it is necessary to remove the infectious agent, that is, to extract the tooth.
Should Unerupted Teeth Always Be Extracted?
NO, Orthodontics is one of the main branches of science that jaw surgery collaborates with. The teeth can be brought to the place where they need to be in time by surgical intervention on the impacted teeth, with the help of an orthodontic wire or chain, by applying force to the teeth to drive them.
