  6. Wisdom tooth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wisdom_tooth

    Impacted wisdom teeth are classified by the direction and depth of impaction, the amount of available space for tooth eruption and the amount of soft tissue or bone that covers them. The classification structure allows clinicians to estimate the probabilities of impaction, infections and complications associated with wisdom teeth removal. [31]
