what is the medical term for removing wisdom teeth?
extraction or coronectomy
impacted wisdom teeth are classified by the direction and depth of impaction, the amount of available space for tooth eruption and the amount 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. wisdom teeth are also classified by the presence of symptoms and disease.









































treatment of an erupted wisdom tooth is the same as any other tooth in the mouth. if impacted, treatment can be restoration, local treatment to the infected tissue overlying the impaction, extraction or coronectomy.









































section::::history.
wisdom tooth
there is no standard to screen for wisdom teeth. it has been suggested, absent evidence to support routinely retaining or removing wisdom teeth, that evaluation with panoramic radiograph, starting between the ages of 16 and 25 be completed every 3 years. once there is the possibility of the teeth developing disease, then a discussion about the operative risks versus long-term risk of retention with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon or other clinician trained to evaluate wisdom teeth is recommended. these recommendations are based on expert opinion level evidence. screening at a younger age may be required if the second molars (the "12-year molars") fail to erupt as ectopic positioning of the wisdom teeth can prevent their eruption. radiographs can be avoided if the majority of the tooth is visible in the mouth.
