text: <unk>  can be defined as the interosseous position of the<unk>  which is completely or partially covered by mucosa and bone for more than 2 years following physiological eruption time. It can be readily confused with embedded and/or displaced teeth. Impacted teeth result from a situation in which an unerupted<unk>  is wedged against another<unk>  or teeth or located in a place where it cannot be erupted normally due<unk> e palatal displacement. In contrast, an embedded<unk>  is an unerupted<unk>  that is covered usually completely with bone due<unk> e lack of eruptive forces. The prevalent order of frequency of<unk>  in the clinical practice includes mandibular and maxillary third molars, maxillary canines, mandibular premolars, mandibular canines, maxillary premolars, maxillary central incisors, maxillary lateral incisors, and mandibular second molars. Mandibular third molars are the most commonly found unerupted teeth, while maxillary third molars is the second most common. A diagnosis of impacted teeth is based on clinical symptoms, physical and radiographical examinations done by panoramic, occlusal, and periapical radiographs including cone-beam CT (CBCT) scans. The treatment plan should be based on clinical symptoms, location of the teeth, and a comprehensive examination of the impact of these teeth on neighboring teeth. Good orthodontic mechanics, surgical planning, and patient education are the mainstay of treatment. Surgical planning includes local anatomic concerns, anesthesia method, flap design, bone removal/coronal exposure, surgical instrumentation, bonding material characteristics,<unk>  ankylosis, and minimization of surgical complications. Additionally, all the potential complications should be explained<unk> e patients before planned surgical and orthodontic interventions which might be sensory nerve damage leading to paresthesia, dry socket, infection, hemorrhage, bone loss, root resorption, and gingival recession around the treated teeth.
