Extraction of impacted tooth

Impacted Tooth Extraction in Djerba Tunisia by Dr. Ahlem Beltaief

Teeth develop within the jawbones. During growth, they move to take their positions in the mouth. But tooth eruption can be interrupted, and the tooth may remain in the bone. This is called an impacted tooth, partially or fully.

Wisdom teeth (or third molars) are the most commonly impacted teeth. They are followed in order of frequency by maxillary canines. Supernumerary teeth are also most often impacted.
