Tooth impaction refers to the failure of teeth to erupt
into the mouth within the normal time, where the failure
of outburst appears to originate from mechanical blocking. Tooth impaction may result from a number of
local causal factors. These include arch length discrepancy, ectopic positioning of the teeth, presence
of supernumerary teeth, bony barriers, and retained deciduous teeth
Angulation of tooth Most commonly used
classification system with respect to treatment
planning. Depending on the angulation the tooth
might be classified as
Mesioangular
Horizontal
Vertical
Distoangular
Palatal
Buccal
Lingual
This type of classification is based on the amount of
impacted tooth that is covered with the mandibular ramus. It is known as the Pell and Gregory classification, classes
1, 2, and 3. [3]
Impacted wisdom teeth don't always cause symptoms.
However, when an impacted wisdom tooth becomes infected, damages other teeth or causes other dental
problems, you may experience some of these signs or symptoms:
