Study Notes
Impaction of Teeth
- Impaction refers to individual teeth that are unerupted due to a lack of eruptive force or obstruction by physical barriers.
- Impaction can occur in various teeth, including maxillary premolars, central incisors, lateral incisors, and third molars.
Classification of Impacted Mandibular 3rd Molars
- Classified based on the relation of the impacted 3rd molar to the ramus of the mandible and the 2nd molar.
- A. Class I: sufficient space between the ramus and the distal surface of the 2nd molar, allowing for accommodation of the mesiodistal diameter of the 3rd molar crown.
- B. Class II: insufficient space between the ramus and the distal surface of the 2nd molar, making it less than the mesiodistal diameter of the 3rd molar crown.
- C. Class III: the 3rd molar is located within the ramus of the mandible.
Position of Impacted 3rd Molar
- Classified in relation to the occlusal line of the 2nd molar.
- A. Position A: highest portion of the impacted molar is in level with or above the occlusal line of the 2nd molar.
- B. Position B: highest portion of the impacted molar is below the occlusal line but above the cervical line of the 2nd molar.
- C. Position C: highest portion of the impacted molar is below the cervical line of the 2nd molar.
Orientation of Impacted 3rd Molar
- Classified in relation to the long axis of the 2nd molar.
- Vertical: parallel to the 2nd molar.
- Horizontal: perpendicular to the 2nd molar.
- Inverted: opposite direction of the 2nd molar.
- Mesioangular: angled towards the mesial aspect of the 2nd molar.
- Distoangular: angled towards the distal aspect of the 2nd molar.
- Buccoangular: angled towards the buccal aspect of the 2nd molar.
- Linguoangular: angled towards the lingual aspect of the 2nd molar.
Classification of Impacted Maxillary 3rd Molars
- Classified based on the relative depth of the impacted 3rd molar in the bone.
-
- Position A: lowest portion of the crown of the impacted 3rd molar is in line with the occlusal plane of the 2nd molar.
-
- Position B: lowest portion of the crown of the impacted 3rd molar is between the occlusal line and cervical line of the 2nd molar.
-
- Position C: lowest portion of the crown of the impacted 3rd molar is at or above the cervical line of the 2nd molar.
Sinus Approximation
- Classified based on the relationship of the impacted maxillary 3rd molar to the maxillary sinus.
- SA (Sinus Approximation): no bone or a very thin partition of bone exists between the maxillary 3rd molar and maxillary sinus.
- NSA (No Sinus Approximation): 2mm or more of bone exists between the impacted maxillary 3rd molar and the maxillary sinus.
Classification of Impacted Maxillary Canine
- Classified based on the orientation of the impacted maxillary canine.
- a. Class I: horizontal, vertical, or semi-vertical orientation.
- b. Class II: horizontal, vertical, or semi-vertical orientation.
