2. Impacted wisdom teeth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Impacted_wisdom_teeth

   Wisdom teeth become impacted when there is not enough room in the jaws to allow for all of the teeth to erupt into the mouth. Because the wisdom teeth are the last to erupt, due to insufficient room in the jaws to accommodate more teeth, the wisdom teeth become stuck in the jaws, i.e., impacted. There is a genetic predisposition to tooth impaction.

3. Overeruption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overeruption

   Because of the lack of opposing force and the natural eruptive potential of the tooth there is a tendency for the tooth to erupt out of the line of the occlusion. [citation needed] Not all teeth lacking an opposing tooth overerupt, even in the long term. [2] Unopposed upper jaw molars overerupt more than the unopposed lower jaw molars.

6. Pericoronitis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericoronitis

   Over-eruption of the opposing tooth into the unoccupied space left by the stalled eruption of a tooth is a risk factor to operculum trauma from biting. Teeth that fail to erupt completely (commonly the lower mandibular third molars) are often the result of limited space for eruption, or a non-ideal angle of tooth eruption causing tooth impaction.
