What «Immersed teeth wisdom»?
In dental terminology «Immersed» called a tooth who failed to completely cut down and take his place in the dental row. This can happen either due to the fact that the dentition was not enough space for this tooth, or because this tooth has an incorrect slope.
Classification of immersed teeth of wisdom
To designate the position of immersed teeth of wisdom, dentists enjoy special terms. The most common type of immersed teeth of wisdom — Media immersion teeth. Term «Medial» means that the tooth of wisdom is tilted forward, towards the front of the oral cavity.
Other types of immersion (indicated here by their frequency in medical practice) — Teeth with vertical immersion, horizontal immersion, and distal immersion.
Immersed wisdom teeth are divided not only in the direction of dive — medial, vertical, horizontal and distal. These teeth are also divided into teeth with fabric and bone immersion. Term «bone immersion» means that the tooth of wisdom is in the bone of the jaw. «Fabric dive» suggests that the tooth of wisdom passed through the bone — but could not completely go through the gums.
Why wisdom teeth grow wrong?
In many modern theories, it is assumed that the violation of the teething of wisdom teeth is due to the fact that the normal human jaw is too small for them, and there is not enough space for these teeth. Explain this by the fact that the jaws of a modern person are smaller than the jaws of our prehistoric ancestors, — Because food we eat a softer, which you do not need to be chewed with big and strong teeth.
The authors of these theories also believe that since humanity continues to develop and evolve, in the future there may be such a time when people simply will not be the teeth of wisdom. Even in our time, people often encounter people who have teeth wisdom germinated in the amount of 1-2, and even never had them.
