Abstract:

Tooth impaction represents a complex clinical challenge that affects millions of individuals worldwide and continues to be a significant concern in contemporary dental practice. Defined as the failure of a tooth to erupt into its normal functional position within the expected timeframe, tooth impaction encompasses a spectrum of conditions ranging from partial eruption difficulties to complete bony encasement of teeth. This phenomenon most commonly affects third molars, maxillary canines, mandibular premolars, and supernumerary teeth, with varying degrees of clinical significance and treatment complexity.
