Abstract
Permanent teeth which fail to erupt normally, a combination between the oral surgeon and orthodontist may be essential to help the eruption or even complete removal of some of these teeth when required. A simple surgical procedure performed, on the top of the impacted tooth to create a small window to expose the hidden tooth underneath. Once the tooth is exposed, the oral surgeon will bond an orthodontic hook or button on the exposed tooth. The bracket will have a miniature a chain attached to it. The oral surgeon will guide the chain back to the orthodontic arch wire where it will be temporarily attached. Sometimes the surgeon will leave the exposed impacted tooth completely uncovered by suturing the gum up high above the tooth or making a window in the gum covering the tooth. Most of the time, the gum will be returned to its original location and sutured back with only the chain remaining visible as it exits a small hole in the gum. Also other orthodontic treatment may be helpful like application of orthodontic screws A new Anchorage device (Gazzaz Device) is helpful to either redirect the tooth to grow toward its normal direction in the jaw or it is become so loose to be easily removed without complicated surgery which may necessitate wide exposure and even bone removal.
