Retined wisdom tooth: causes of pathology, removal and cost of surgery
Wisdom teeth in more than 80% of cases develop dystopic, namely, in the dentition have an incorrect location.Also, there are cases when the tooth crown is only partially cut, this pathology has the name - retention.These incorrect "eight" must be removed, as they are the cause of inflammation, and the curvature of the dentition begins.
Retinished and dystopic tooth: general information
A retina tooth is a tooth that has not been cut and, for certain reasons, does not come out , remaining partially or completely covered by a bone or gum.Retinished teeth spoil aesthetic appearance, significantly deform the gum, and can also affect chewing processes, limiting the normal chewing of food.As a rule, they are "wisdom teeth".
A dystopic tooth is a tooth that is displaced or misplaced in the dentition.It is dangerous in that it puts pressure on others, which as a result can lead to the tilt of the whole dentition, as well as to violations of bite functions.It's hard to imagine, but sometimes it happens that the teeth are even perpendicular to the natural position of the germination.
What should I do when my teeth grow wrong?
When a person suspects the presence of a repaired or dystopic tooth, he needs to contact the dental clinic as quickly as possible so that the doctor can identify the pathology in place of and give a qualified recommendation for treatment or removal.
Only the diagnostic measures in the dentist's office will enable you to reliably determine if your teeth are retina or dystopic.For what it is necessary to perform an x-ray of the jaw.After studying the deformation, the dentist will be able to suggest ways of elimination.With a huge degree of probability, removal will be necessary.
What teeth cause developmental problems?
As a rule, teeth are retouched wisdom teeth.Just for the most part they do not have time to cut in time and after development of the jaw apparatus they are under the gum or, under more severe situations, under the bone.In this case, when the tooth is in the gum, it does not mean at all that he is here in absolute safety and integrity.Even these teeth have the property of breaking down, which as a result gives a person a lot of anxiety and hassle.To determine in what place and how they are, you need to perform a computer tomography or X-ray.Based on the results of the examination, the dentist can draw a conclusion about the condition of the dentition and the need for removal.
In addition to wisdom teeth, sometimes fangs appear to be retinished, in rare cases other teeth.If the orthodontic manipulations do not allow you to cure the defect, then the person is assigned removal.
The main thing is to correctly diagnose pathology and consult with doctors who have considerable experience in orthodontics .In some cases, there may be situations where several dentists advise immediately to remove the deformed teeth, but a more experienced doctor unexpectedly recommends removing a non-deformed tooth, but already sprouted, with no surgical intervention.
Why does this happen?These cases can be if the dentist sees that the retina tooth has the correct location and is in excellent condition, and he only needs to give free space.In this case, it will grow painlessly, taking the place of the tooth that was removed.So, for the person it turns out much less problems and financial expenses as usual removal costs much more cheaply and takes not such quantity of time, as orthodontic intervention on clearing of space, or operation on removal.
The treatment of wisdom teeth is almost always accompanied by complications.Because, first of all, it is difficult to get to them, and also, they have a rather complex structure and often grows several roots at the same time.That's why many dentists advise you to remove it immediately, without understanding the location.But one must know that there are also such diseases, whose manifestations and signs are similar to the symptoms inherent in the wrong development of the teeth, but, most importantly, the removal in these cases is not absolutely necessary.
If after diagnosing it turns out that the dentition does not succeed in saving , then you need to prepare for removal.And do not forget, the sooner the dentist makes this operation, the better you.When a person is still at a young age, the roots of wisdom teeth have not yet fully formed, and the tissue of the bone that surrounds them is not very dense.In this situation, surgical intervention will be much easier.Moreover, it is much easier for a young organism to transfer this process, and healing will be much faster.
Also it must be remembered that not completely sprouted wisdom teeth are much more than others, are prone to caries disease.Most often they are located under the skin, behind which a large number of pathogenic microorganisms accumulate.This cavity is not fully cleaned, overgrown with bloom, it as a result leads to cavities.
In view of the foregoing, it becomes clear that with any suspicion of improper wisdom tooth germination, during the appearance of inflammation or swelling of , one should immediately contact the dentist.And at the same time, you do not have to give up removing it when a specialist recommends it.
