Wisdom Tooth Third Molar Disimpaction

Impacted  Wisdom Teeth Molars

The wisdom teeth are the final set of teeth to erupt, also referred to as third molars. Between 17 and 25, they often erupt (break through your gums). Your wisdom teeth may occasionally merge with your other teeth without causing any issues. Sometimes they get caught completely or partially in your jawbone or gums. Impaction is the technical term for this. Cavities, gum disease, and infections are just a few of the dental health issues impacted wisdom teeth can bring.

Fully Impacted Wisdom teeth 

Wisdom teeth third-molar that are fully impacted are not visible. Under your gums, they are entirely concealed. 

Partially Impacted Wisdom Teeth 

A wisdom tooth third molar that is partly impacted can be seen because some have partially erupted. 

Wisdom Teeth With No Impaction

Wisdom teeth molars not impacted have fully erupted and are visible above your gum line. It’s crucial to remember that even wisdom teeth that are not impacted might create issues.

What Types Of Impacted Wisdom Teeth Are There?

Four different forms of wisdom teeth molars impaction exist. Each category corresponds to the placement of your teeth:

Masticatory Impaction

The most typical kind is masticatory impaction. It happens when your wisdom teeth are pointing forward in your mouth.

Distal Impaction

The most uncommon kind of impaction, called distal impaction, occurs when your wisdom teeth are tilted toward the rear of your mouth.

Vertical Impaction

When your wisdom teeth molars are in the ideal position for an eruption but are still buried behind your gums, it is said to be vertically impaction.

Horizontally Impacted

This condition is known as horizontal impaction when your wisdom teeth are totally on their side and buried under your gums. Because they exert excessive pressure on the teeth in front of them, wisdom teeth molars that are horizontally impacted frequently cause pain.

Symptoms For Third Molar Tooth Removal

There are not always signs of impacted wisdom teeth molars. However, you could experience any of these warning signs or symptoms if an impacted wisdom tooth injures other teeth, causes damage to nearby teeth, or causes other dental issues:

1. 1. Red or inflamed gums
      
   2. Gums that are sore or bleeding
      
   3. A sore jaw
      
   4. Jaw-related swelling
      
   5. Foul breath
      
   6. You have a bad taste in your mouth
   7. Feel difficult  to open your mouth
      

Causes Of Molar Extraction

Impacted wisdom teeth may partially emerge such that the crown is visible, or it may never entirely emerge from the gums (fully impacted). If the tooth is completely or partially impacted, it may:

1. Grow obliquely in the direction of the adjacent tooth (second molar)
   
2. Grow at an angle at the rear of the mouth
   
3. Wisdom teeth developed at a right angle to the neighboring teeth, as if “lying down” within the jawbone.
   
4. Teeth stuck within the jawbone may only grow straight up or down like other teeth.
   

Complications With Wisdom Teeth Third Molar Surgery

Impacted wisdom teeth can lead to several oral health issues, including:

Harm to adjacent teeth

The second molar may become damaged or become more susceptible to infection if the wisdom teeth press up on it. Additionally, this pressure may result in additional teeth crowding or necessitate orthodontic treatment to realign them.

Cysts

A pouch inside the jawbone is where the wisdom tooth grows. A cyst that harms the jawbone, teeth, and nerves can develop if the sac fills with fluid. Rarely a benign (noncancerous) tumor will form. Removing the affected tissue and bones may be necessary.

Wisdom Tooth Decay

Wisdom teeth that are partially impacted seem more susceptible to tooth decay (caries) than other teeth. Because it is difficult to clean third molar wisdom teeth, the food and germs can easily become wedged between the gum and a tooth that has not fully erupted.

Gum Disease

Pericoronitis, a painful, inflammatory gum disorder, is more likely to develop in that location when wisdom teeth are partly or entirely erupted and impacted.

Prevention

While you cannot prevent an impaction, scheduling cleaning and checkup appointments every six months allow your dentist to keep track of the development and eruption of your wisdom teeth. Before symptoms appear, impacted wisdom teeth may be seen on routinely updated dental X-rays.
