Introduction:There are conflicting reports on the effects of surgical removal of impacted mandibular third molars on the periodontium of the adjacent teeth. The aim of this study was to compare the condition of the periodontium six months after extraction of impacted mandibular third molars with baseline values. Methods: Fifty patients with mesioangular impacted mandibular third molarsparticipa...

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of the initial vertical position of impacted maxillary incisor on spontaneous eruption frequency and its timing after surgical removal of the supernumerary tooth. Material And Methods: 44 patients with unilateral impaction of maxillary permanent central incisor with an average age of 10.5 years were studied for spontaneous eruption of impacted tooth. Orthopa...

Intraosseous mandibular lipoma (IML) is a rare benign tumour and is infrequentlyassociated with unerupted teeth. This report describes an IML associated with anunerupted impacted mandibular wisdom tooth.

Primary tooth impaction is a rare finding during the development of primary dentition. Several factors contribute to the impaction of a deciduous tooth. This report describes the diagnosis and treatment of a 10-year-old boy who presented an impacted second primary mandibular molar. This tooth, located inferior to the second premolar together with an odontoma, was positioned superior to the prem...

Isolated hypoglossal nerve palsy is a rare condition. There are several causes that can be attributed to it. We present a case where a patient presented herself with pain in the left back tooth region, with unilateral left hypoglossal nerve palsy. All investigations were negative. The infected tooth was removed, and the patient had speech therapy and was actively rehabilitated. The isolated hyp...

The term “impacted teeth” refers to dentition that is partly or completely impacted in bone or soft tissue after eruption should have been completed although eruption age is completed not replaced in dental arc. The most commonly impacted teeth in the anterior region are maxillary canines, while the prevalence of impacted maxillary incisors ranges from 0.06% to 0.2%. Impacted maxillary incisors...

The purpose of this study was to evaluate whether panoramic tomograms, which are routinely used in orthodontic practice, can provide adequate information to localize an impacted canine. The effect of changes in position and inclination of an impacted canine on orthopantomograms was investigated in an experimental set-up. An upper canine was removed from a human skull and replaced in a positioni...

This review article aimed to introduce a category of jaw lesions associated with impacted tooth. General search engines and specialized databases such as Google Scholar, PubMed, PubMed Central, MedLine Plus, Science Direct, Scopus, and well-recognized textbooks were used to find relevant studies using keywords such as "jaw lesion", "jaw disease", "impacted tooth", and "unerupted tooth".
