Impacted tooth extraction is the most challenging and troublesome procedure in tooth extraction operations. Teeth that cannot come out on time from the place where they should normally come out in the mouth are referred to as impacted. If such teeth remain there, they damage the area and cause abscess. In order to prevent such situations from occurring, tooth extraction must be performed under appropriate conditions. In impacted tooth extractions, the process unfortunately does not progress as in normal tooth extraction.
What is Impacted Tooth?
An impacted tooth is a tooth that has not come out of the place where it should normally come out. Such teeth may remain in the jawbone as a whole. In such cases, they may not be seen because it is in soft tissue. There is only pain, swelling, abscess and tenderness in that area. In cases where some of the teeth can be seen but do not fully erupt, a semi-impacted tooth condition is mentioned. The most important reason for the teeth to remain impacted is that the adjacent teeth are displaced and then there is not enough space for the tooth to come out.
How is Impacted Tooth Extraction Performed?
Impacted tooth surgery or impacted tooth extraction can be performed under local or general anaesthesia. Impacted teeth may be completely in soft tissue or some of them may be extracted. Depending on the condition of the tooth, the intervention is performed accordingly. Once anaesthesia is applied, the palate is incised to remove tooth. The incision is then closed by suturing. The stitches are removed between 7-10 days on average and the treatment is terminated.
Your doctor will administer antibiotics and medication, if necessary, after the operation. Major factor affecting the success is the anatomy of the impacted tooth. In addition, the application of appropriate anaesthesia to patients is also important for the operation.
Who Performs?
The operation in impacted teeth is generally performed by dentists and oral surgery specialists. However, orthodontics specialists also intervene because the impacted tooth is at a very sensitive point. Impacted tooth extraction is a procedure that should be performed by specialists in the field. Thanks to a successful specialist, the impacted tooth problem is corrected in a short time.
