An impacted tooth remains stuck in gum tissue or bone for various reasons. The area may be overcrowded, leaving no room for the teeth to emerge. For example, the jaw may be too small to fit the wisdom teeth. Teeth may also become twisted, tilted, or displaced as they try to emerge.
1. Partially Bony. A partially impacted tooth is one that has erupted slightly from the bone tissue encasing it in the jaw. However, it has not erupted above the gum line. Although the tooth has barely emerged, the portion that has erupted is still covered by soft tissue.
Tooth removal. During an extraction your dentist or oral surgeon makes an incision in your gums and removes any bone that blocks access to the impacted tooth root. After removing the tooth, the dentist or oral surgeon typically closes the wound with stitches and packs the empty space (socket) with gauze.
There are four different types of impacted wisdom tooth impaction: mesial (front), distal (back), horizontal, and vertical.
