  2. Wisdom tooth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_tooth

    The third molar, commonly called wisdom tooth, is the most posterior of the three molars in each quadrant of the human dentition. The age at which wisdom teeth come through (erupt) is variable, [1] but this generally occurs between late teens and early twenties. [2] Most adults have four wisdom teeth, one in each of the four quadrants, but it ...

    C) Extracted upper right wisdom tooth (FDI:18) immediately transplanted into socket of upper right first permanent molar. D) Transplanted wisdom tooth splinted into position. E & F) Gold shell crown fitted onto transplanted tooth to restore contact with adjacent tooth and anatomy. Note: Faulty restoration of upper right second permanent molar ...

  4. Impacted wisdom teeth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impacted_wisdom_teeth

    Impacted wisdom teeth is a condition where the third molars (wisdom teeth) are prevented from erupting into the mouth. [1] This can be caused by a physical barrier, such as other teeth, or when the tooth is angled away from a vertical position. [2] Completely unerupted wisdom teeth usually result in no symptoms, although they can sometimes ...

  5. Alveolar osteitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alveolar_osteitis

    The most common location of dry socket: in the socket of an extracted mandibular third molar (wisdom tooth). Since alveolar osteitis is not primarily an infection, there is not usually any pyrexia (fever) or cervical lymphadenitis (swollen glands in the neck), and only minimal edema (swelling) and erythema (redness) is present in the soft tissues surrounding the socket.

  6. Tooth ankylosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_ankylosis

    Tooth ankylosis. Tooth ankylosis refers to a fusion between a tooth and underlying bony support tissues. In some species, this is a normal process that occurs during the formation or maintenance of the dentition. [1] By contrast, in humans tooth ankylosis is pathological, whereby a fusion between alveolar bone and the cementum of a tooth occurs.

  7. Dental implant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

    A dental implant (also known as an endosseous implant or fixture) is a prosthesis that interfaces with the bone of the jaw or skull to support a dental prosthesis such as a crown, bridge, denture, or facial prosthesis or to act as an orthodontic anchor. The basis for modern dental implants is a biological process called osseointegration, in ...

  8. Tooth impaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_impaction

    An impacted tooth is one that fails to erupt into the dental arch within the expected developmental window. Because impacted teeth do not erupt, they are retained throughout the individual's lifetime unless extracted or exposed surgically. Teeth may become impacted because of adjacent teeth, dense overlying bone, excessive soft tissue or a ...

  9. Pericoronitis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericoronitis

    Pericoronitis. Pericoronitis associated with the lower right third molar (wisdom tooth). Pericoronitis is inflammation of the soft tissues surrounding the crown of a partially erupted tooth, [1] including the gingiva (gums) and the dental follicle. [2] The soft tissue covering a partially erupted tooth is known as an operculum, an area which ...
