In part 1 of this 3-part article we discussed identification of the location of an impacted tooth. A tooth can be impacted buccally, palatally, or most seriously impacted entirely within the alveolus of the bone. We also discussed surgical considerations including suggested surgical techniques.
In this 2nd installment we discuss the things that can go wrong and the possible limitations to anticipate; appropriate expectations for you as the treating clinician and for the patient and family. We want you as a General Practitioner (GP) performing Orthodontics to be protected.
