a tooth that does not have enough room to erupt into the mouth
a tooth that has failed to erupt because of obstruction by another tooth
a tooth that has not fully erupted into the oral cavity
a tooth that is all the way or partially below the gum line and is not able to erupt properly
a tooth which is prevented from completely erupting into a normal functional position
A tooth that cannot come in to the mouth because it is lodged against another tooth.
a tooth that is unable to erupt through the surface of the gum due to being blocked.
a tooth that is blocked from eruption.
a condition in which a tooth is unable to erupt normaly because of it's position against the gum or bone
a tooth that is blocked fully or partially from exiting the gum line by adjacent tooth Full bony extraction: the tooth is submerged in the bone, full bone removal is necessary Fully soft tissue extraction: the tooth is submerged in the tissue, full cutting is necessary Partly bony extraction: partial bone must be taken out to be able to reach the tooth to be extracted Partly soft tissue extraction: partial cutting of the tissue is needed to reach the tooth to be extracted
A tooth with an irregular placement that is firmly lodged in the jaw bone and unable to erupt. Many impacted teeth never erupt.
Tooth that has not erupted and is embedded in the jaw.
an unerupted or partially erupted tooth that is positioned against another tooth, bone, or soft tissue so that complete eruption is unlikely.
A partially or completely unerupted tooth. Implant: See Dental implant
A tooth that is submerged under gum tissue. It may be mal positioned, partially erupted, or completely submerged. It may never erupt. Most commonly associated with wisdom teeth.
An unerupted (completely below the gum surface) or partially erupted tooth whose likeliness of ever fully erupting is low.
a tooth that is partially or completely blocked from erupting through the surface of the gum. An impacted tooth may push other teeth together or damage the bony structures supporting the adjacent tooth. Often times, impacted teeth must be surgically removed.
often occurring with wisdom teeth, it is a tooth that sits sideways below the gum line, often requiring extraction.
A tooth that is unable to emerge and needs assistance to break through the gums.
A tooth that fails to erupt properly and remains fully or partially embedded and covered over by bone or gum tissue. This most often occurs with wisdom teeth. If not removed, impacted teeth can cause pain, headaches, infection and malocclusion.
a tooth that does not come through the gum normally.
Usually associated with a wisdom tooth, it is a tooth that is submerged under the gum tissue. It may be malpositioned, and may never erupt.
Commonly a tooth embedded in either the soft or bony tissues of the jaw in such a way that it has not erupted or has erupted only partially.
a tooth that is either partially emerged, or submerged under the gum tissue which is blocked from fully emerging by an adjacent tooth.
a tooth that has not come into the mouth, usually due to poor orientation preventing it from erupting naturally.
any tooth (but especially a wisdom tooth) that cannot break through the gum into normal position because it is growing against or blocked by bone, soft tissue, or another tooth
usually associated with a wisdom tooth, it is a tooth that has somehow gotten stuck so that complete eruption is unlikely.
This is a tooth that is submerged under the gum tissue, usually associated with a wisdom tooth. It may be malpositioned and may never erupt, but may still require removal. For more information on Wisdom Tooth removal click here.
A tooth that hasn't erupted into the mouth and remains buried within the jawbone. Causes of impaction may be genetic or obstruction by another tooth, bone, or soft tissue.
Any tooth that is prevented from reaching its normal position in the mouth by another tooth, bone, or soft tissue.
A tooth beneath the gum tissue that lies against another tooth, under bone or soft tissue, which is unlikely to grow out on its own.
