Читать книгу Orthodontic Treatment of Impacted Teeth - Adrian Becker - Страница 94

Notwithstanding my description in the first part of this chapter, there are situations and conditions in which surgical intervention without orthodontic treatment is called for and indeed appropriate. Thus, in cases in which the impacted tooth is the only clinical problem (the occlusion and alignment being otherwise acceptable), the question that needs to be addressed is: what surgical methods are available that may be expected to provide a more or less complete solution without orthodontic assistance? In order to discuss this question, it is necessary to provide a description of the position of the impacted tooth that is being encouraged to respond to this kind of treatment.
