Lecture Impacted teeth. Odontogenic periostitis of jaws.
IMPACTED TEETH • An impacted tooth is one that is partially erupted or unerupted and will not eventually assume a normal arch relationship withother teeth and tissues.
Causes of Impacted Teeth • Role of civilization • Local causes of Impaction • Systemic causes of impaction
Local causes of Impaction • Lack of space in the dental arch for eruption ; • The density of the overlying or surrounding bone; • Long continued chronic inflammation with resultant increase in the density of the overlying mucous membrane; • Premature loss of the primary teeth; • Acquired diseases, such as necrosis due to infection or abscesses, and inflammatory changes in the bone due to exanthematous diseases in children;
Impacted teeth occur in the following order • Mandibular third molars • Maxillary third molars • Maxillary cuspids • Mandibular bicuspids • Mandibular cuspids • Maxillary bicuspids • Maxillary central incisors • Maxillary lateral incisors • Maxillary or mandibular first molars are rarely impacted
Classification of impacted mandibular third molars • A. Relation of the tooth to the ramus of the mandible and the second molar; • B. Relative depth of the third molar in bone; • C. The position of the long axis of the impacted mandibular third molar in relation to the long axis of the second molar : vertical, horizontal, inverted, mesioangular, distoangular, buccoangular, linguangular.
