2. Overeruption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overeruption

   Overerupted teeth are often sharp due to lack of tooth wear (dental attrition) by adjacent teeth during chewing. [citation needed] Overeruption is treated either by forcing the tooth back using orthodontic techniques, or by cutting the interfering part of the tooth and installing a crown. [citation needed]

3. Dahl effect - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dahl_effect

   It involves the vertical tooth movement that occurs when anterior localised appliances/restorations are placed in supra occlusion causing the posterior teeth to disclude. Rather than restoring occlusion by means of restoration, it is allowed to re-establish over time through a combination of intrusion and over-eruption.

4. Tooth eruption - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tooth_eruption

   Primary failure of eruption (PFE) is a rare disease in which tooth eruption does not occur despite space in the arch for eruption. Non-eruption of non-ankylosed teeth occurs due to an eruption mechanism that has failed leading to a posterior unilateral/bilateral open bite. [28] Infra occlusion is the primary hallmark of PFE.

5. Tooth ankylosis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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.

6. Failure of eruption of teeth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_of_eruption_of_teeth

   Failure of eruption of teeth happens when a single or multiple teeth fail to erupt in the mouth. This can happen due to many reasons which may include obstruction from primary teeth, bone surrounding the unerupted tooth or other mechanical factors. The two types of failure of eruption are primary failure of eruption and mechanical failure of ...

7. Dental implant - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_implant

   Implants preserve the integrity of the teeth adjacent to the edentulous area, and it has been shown that dental implant therapy is less costly and more efficient over time than tooth-supported FPDs for the replacement of one missing tooth. The major disadvantage of dental implant surgery is the need for a surgical procedure. [17]
