A gentleman came to our clinic and complained of pain in the lower right back tooth region. Mesioangular impacted lower right wisdom tooth is noted.
Here we go. Treatment begins
1. Take OPG to confirm the relationship between the inferior alveolar nerve and the lower right wisdom tooth. Caries is noted at the distal part of the lower right second molar (tooth 47).
2. Surgical removal of the lower right wisdom tooth was performed. Caries on tooth 47 extend below the subgingival & involve pulp. The patient refused to go for root canal treatment due to poor prognosis and agreed to replace missing tooth 47 with a dental implant in the near future. (Extraction of tooth 47 is carried out)
3. After 3 months, an implant was placed to replace tooth 47
Waiting for osseointegration now…..😄
***Moral of the story: Remove your malposition wisdom tooth before it causes problems to other teeth (caries/cavities), pain or infections caused by this little monster 👿, inflammation of gum around it & so on. Time to say goodbye to little monster aka wisdom tooth 🦷
