Question 84 · LDEK · Impacted teeth
The indications for the removal of clinically and radiologically symptomless third molars after assessing the post-operational risk, include:
1) preventive removal (for example, insufficient availability of medical care, functional uselessness, and so on);
2) resorption of adjacent teeth;
3) general anesthesia performed due to other reasons, in other words to avoid consecutive anesthesia;
4) teeth in the fissure of a fracture, which impedes the treatment;
5) scheduling prosthesis which in the future may lead to secondary eruption caused by a further atrophy of the alveolar process or by excessive load with movable prosthetic restoration;
6) tooth meant for transplantation;
7) easing the orthodontic movement of the teeth or orthodontic retention;
8) first recognizable symptoms of secondary teeth overcrowding regarding the lower incisors, when there is no longer the possibility of the third molar eruption or its correct positioning due to the lack of space or translocation;
9) developmental lesions of the tooth.
