Wisdom Teeth

fronimites

The 3rd molars complete their development and reach the oral cavity at the age of 18-24 years, and in some cases may continue at an older age. They are the last teeth to ascend to the mouth and show great variety in their morphology and orientation. Very often, in the area where the normal 3rd molars project, we have a lack of space, which results in the tooth being impacted and not rising in the oral cavity. Depending on their location, they cause other problems. The most common problem is the, due to location, poor hygiene in the area, which inevitably leads to infection and inflammation and to the cause of pain, redness, and more general symptoms, such as ear, throat and head pain. Especially where part of the toothpick has appeared (in this case the wisdom tooth is called semi-impacted), the retention of food and germs is easier and the appearance of peritonitis is more likely.

If the tooth’s direction is not toward the chewing plane but comes closer, it can cause local problems in the 2nd molar, which is caries and also the destruction of the bone supporting it, resulting in long-term showing a problem. In many cases, the frontal inclination of the wisdom tooth causes ‘tooth decay’, resulting in overcrowding, especially in the anterior region, so that it is preventive.
