2. Dentigerous cyst - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentigerous_cyst

   The treatment of choice for dentigerous cyst is enucleation along with extraction of the impacted teeth. [21] If eruption of the unerupted tooth is considered feasible, the tooth may be left in place after partial removal of the cyst wall. Orthodontic treatment may subsequently be required to assist eruption.

3. Regional odontodysplasia - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regional_odontodysplasia

   Treatment and prognosis are usually based upon keeping these teeth and preserving the alveolus. For erupted teeth, endodontics is an option if the tooth is devitalized and restorable. For unerupted teeth, function can be restored with a removable partial denture until all major growth has been completed and a final restoration can be placed. [2]

4. Buccal object rule - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buccal_object_rule

   In 1909, Charles A. Clark described a radiographic procedure for localizing impacted teeth to determining their relative antero-posterior position. [1] If the two teeth (or, by extension, any two objects, such as a tooth and a foreign object) are located in front of one another relative to the x-ray beam, they will appear superimposed on one another on a dental radiograph, but it will be ...

5. Dental radiography - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_radiography

   Dental radiographs, commonly known as X-rays, are radiographs used to diagnose hidden dental structures, malignant or benign masses, bone loss, and cavities.. A radiographic image is formed by a controlled burst of X-ray radiation which penetrates oral structures at different levels, depending on varying anatomical densities, before striking the film or sensor.

6. Impacted wisdom teeth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impacted_wisdom_teeth

   A treatment controversy exists about the need for and timing of the removal of disease-free impacted wisdom teeth. Supporters of early removal cite the increasing risks for extraction over time and the costs of monitoring the wisdom teeth. Supporters for retaining wisdom teeth cite the risk and cost of unnecessary surgery.

7. Adenomatoid odontogenic tumor - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenomatoid_odontogenic_tumor

   On radiographs, the adenomatoid odontogenic tumor presents as a radiolucency (dark area) around an unerupted tooth extending past the cementoenamel junction.. It should be differentially diagnosed from a dentigerous cyst and the main difference is that the radiolucency in case of AOT extends apically beyond the cementoenamel junction.
