Abstract

The treatment of impacted teeth is a multidisciplinary process requiring close collaboration between periodontics and orthodontics. Impaction can have several causes, including physical obstructions in the eruption pathway, arch length discrepancies, or dental deformity. The management of these cases lies in the diagnosis established after an appropriate clinical and radiological examination. The age, position, etiology, and amount of space in the dental arch of an unerupted tooth determine how it should be treated. In several cases, orthodontic creating space, removing physical obstructions, and exposing the patient surgically with or without traction are general guidelines for treatment. In addition, ensuring adequate access to the tooth and the possibility of attaching an orthodontic anchor, the periodontal plastic surgery procedures associated with surgical clearance must preserve the integrity of the periodontium of the impacted tooth, as well as that of adjacent teeth, and above all promote the long-term maintenance of their periodontal health.
