dental arch and its eruption potential has been lost.dental arch and its eruption potential has been lost.
 Impacted teeth can be defined as those teeth that are
prevented from eruption due to a physical barrier within
the path of eruption (Farman, 2004).
 The term impaction was defined by Peterson as tooth that
fails to erupt into the dental arch within the expected time
(Peterson, 1998).

Radiographic evaluation of impacted teeth
The diagnostic radiograph must demonstrate the following:
Entire outline of the impacted teeth
Outline of the follicle sac
Occlusal radiography
Occlusal radiography represents an excellent imaging method
when the image field extends more apically then the coverage
of the standard IOPA radiograph.
Also helpful on patients with a limited mouth opening
 Anterior Maxillary topographical projection
Lateral Maxillary topographical projection
Anterior Max. occlusal Cross-sectional
Lateral
Panaromic radiography
OPG that display the entire dentoalveolar complex and
adjacent anatomy are excellent for imaging many impacted
teeth.
Skull radiography
Special technique
CT scans
CT scans are useful and indicated if an impacted tooth is
positioned in an ectopic positioned in an ectopic position
distant from the oral cavity or associated with neoplastic or
inflammatory process with morbidity in the contiguous tissues.
Based on anatomic position
A) Relative depth of the impacted third molar in
bone:
Class A: The lowest portion of the crown of the
impacted
maxillary 3rd
molar is on a line with the
second
molar.
Class B: The lowest portion of the crown of the
impacted
maxillary 3rd
molar is between the occlusal
plane
of the second molar and cervical line.
Class C: The lowest portion of the crown of the
impacted
maxillary 3rd
molar is at or above the cervical
line
of second molar.
B)The position of the long axis of the impacted maxillary third
molar in relation to the long axis of the second molar:
1. Vertical
2. Horizontal
3. Mesioangular
4. Distoangular
5. Inverted
6. Buccoangular
7. Linguoangular
C) Relationship of impacted maxillary third molar with maxillary
sinus
1. Sinus approximation (S.A.): no bone or a thin portion of bone
between the impacted maxillary 3rd
molar and the maxillary
sinus, known as maxillary sinus approximation.
2. No sinus approximation (N.S.A.): 2 mm or more of bone
between the impacted maxillary 3rd
molar and the maxillary
sinus, known as no maxillary sinus approximation.

Reasons for canine impaction
1. BECKER CONCEPT (1984)
 Hypothesized 2 processes in palatal impaction
2. MC BRIDGE CONCEPT
 Canine formed high in anterior wall – below the floor of
orbit – long tortous path of eruption.
Absence of initialAbsence of initial
early guidanceearly guidance
Failure of buccalFailure of buccal
movement ofmovement of
caninecanine
MOYERS CONCEPT : summarised by BISHORA
BERGER CONCEPT ( systemic cause of impaction)
Malnutrition, Syphilis, Rickets, Progeria etc
Syndromes – Cliedocranial dysplasia, Achondroplasia,
VONDER HEYDT CONCEPT
Total arch length of permanent teeth -established very early in
life
Canine is larger and later erupting -it may get impacted.
GUIDANCE THEORY – MILLER
Canine usually have more mesial development path, which is
guided downwards apparently along the distal aspect of the
lateral incisor roots.
 PECKS AND PECKS CONCEPT
Palatal impacted canine is an inherited trait occurs in
combination with tooth size reduction, supernumery tooth
and other ectopicaly tooth
Palatally impacted canine as dental anomaly as genetic origin
FIELD AND ACKERMAN CLASSIFICATION
(1935)
MAXILLARY CANINES
a LABIAL POSITION
Crown in intimate relationship with incisors.
Crown well above the apices of incisors.
b PALATAL POSITION
Crown near the surface in close relationship to
roots of incisors.
Crown deeply embedded in close relationship to
apices of incisors.
c. INTERMEDIATE POSITION
Crown between lateral incisor and 1st
premolar roots.
Crown above these teeth with crown labially placed
and root palatally placed or vice versa.
d. UNUSUAL POSITION
In nasal or antral wall.
In infra orbital region.
Class I: Impacted cuspids located in the
palate
a. Horizontal
b. Vertical
c. Semivertical
Class II: Impacted cuspids located in the
labial or buccal surface of the maxilla
a. Horizontal
b. Vertical
c. Semivertical
Class III: Impacted cuspids located in both the
palatal process and labial or buccal
maxillary bone.
Class IV: Impacted cuspid located in the alveolar
process, usually between the incisor and first
bicuspid.
Class V: Impacted cuspids located in an edentulous
maxilla
Indication
 Changed position of adjacent teeth
 Resorption of roots of adjacent teeth
 Cyst formation
 Cleft palate
 Before the fitting of full or partial denture
 Neurologic symptom
Contraindication
When the cuspid can be brought into normal position
either by surgical positioning or combination of
surgery and orthodontia at an early age .
Factor complicating the removal of
impacted maxillary cuspid
Proximity of impacted cuspid to adjacent teeth and
vital structure.
Possibility of forcing cuspid into maxillary sinus.
Most impacted cuspid roots have a pronounced
curvature at the apical third
Impacted mandibular cuspids - usually vertically
impacted - found close to the labial surface.
Occasionally - located beneath the apices of the
mandibular incisors lying transversely at a 45 degree
angle to the lower border of the mandible.
Rarely - found in a horizontal position or on the
lingual side of the dental arch.

Editor's Notes

  • #4 Archer defined impacted tooth tooth is one that fails to erupt and will not eventually assume its anatomical arch relationship beyond the chronological age of eruption and its further eruption is prevented by the surrounding soft tissue or bone
  • #5 There are various other terms which are misinterprete with impaction such as- an unerupted tooth can be a tooth which is in the process of eruption and is likely to erupt based on clinical and radiographic findings. Next is malposed tooth.. these tooth position in the maxilla or mandible is abnormal.. And they cud b either erupted or unerupted form. EMBEDDED tooth – these tooth that has failed to erupt completely or partially to its correct position in the dental arch and its eruption potential has been lost
  • #6 There are other authors also who defined impaction as those teeth whichare prevented from eruption due to a physical barrier within the path of eruption..givn b farmer in d year 2004… and peterson defined impaction as as the tooth that fails to erupt into the dental arch within the expected time (Peterson, 1998).
  • #7 There are various theories which has described d etiology of impaction…such as..phylognc theory, mendeln, orthodontc, endocrine n others but I will b discussing sum main theories in brief ..first
  • #9 s
  • #14 Orthodontc theory s gvn by durbeck it states that jaws develop in downward n forward direction..growth f d jaws n teeth occur in forward dirctn..so anything dat interfere wid such movemnt like dense bone, trauma will cause impctn…
  • #15 BERGER
  • #16 In systemic causes they can be prenatal and postnatal in prenatal it can be heredity..n in postnatal it can be rickets, congenital syphilis, malnutrition, endocrinal dysfunction…..hutchinson teeth, peg shaped centrl incsr,mulberry molar, poorly developd permnat molars, poorly develpd maxilla.. Rickets --
  • #17 Cleidocranial dystosis- hereditary disease, delayed n incomplete ossification of calvarium, delayed n defective dentition.. Progeria- premature old age, like amitabh bachan in paa muvie, wrinkld skin,gray hair, attitude of old age.. Achondrplasia – hereditary, dwarfism occur, cartilage fail to develop properly, Achondroplasia --
  • #18 Source – Archer 4th ed frequency f impacton
  • #19 Impinging on coronoid process ,,formation of any pathology like dentigerous cyst, preprosthetic concerns
  • #34 This may also occur simultaneously in Buccal version Lingual version Torsoversion
  • #36 These are some examples, when used together to classify impacted 3rd molar..
  • #43 There can be various incisions for 3rd molar extraction but commonly usedc is: envelope incision.
  • #44 In deep impactn where access is required ,,a releasing incision can b givn extending from d mesia aspct of 2nd molar.
  • #46 To avoid d entry f root into d maxillary sinus or pterygomaxillary space.
  • #70 Incision is made around d neck f d teeth on d lingual side of max central Incisors..and extnding to d distal edge f d second premolar..incision begin at d crest o finterdental papilla on lingual side betwn max central incsrs, and carried straight back along centre f d palate for one and half Inches..dan mucoperiosteum s rflcted ..holes r drilled around d crown of impactd tooth. Opening s enlargd with crosscut surgicl bur ..tooth s elevatd from d sockt ..and suturng done.
  • #72 This technique s indicatd when tip f crown s in contact wid d roots of d centrl incsrs and latrl incsors..
  • #77 An incision is made mesial to latrl incsr and distl ti 2nd premolr.. labial flap is reflected
  • #79 semilunar labial flap is made over the root den root is exposed and elevated out den a a palatal flap is outlined nd by using a blunt instrument it s placed at d root end f d crown nd tapped with chisel buccaly so dat crown is drawn out f d crypt palataly
  • #83 Ecchymosis of the upper lip or lower lip and chin
