What is pericoronitis and what other complications can wisdom teeth cause? How is wisdom teeth extraction performed?

In this 3D video from Clínica Pardiñas (http://j.mp/cPardinas) we talk about pericoronitis and other complications that wisdom teeth and their extraction can cause. Among the main problems we find gum inflammation, extrusion of opposing teeth, cavities, etc. The different positions in which the wisdom teeth can be placed and their implications are represented. Finally, it is shown how to perform a wisdom toth extraction.

A wisdom tooth that erupts in a bad position can lead to pericoronitis. That is, an infection of the gums that surrounds the wisdom tooth, and whose symptoms include pain, inflammation, bleeding or bad breath. Wisdom tooth extraction solves this problem. But if the opposite tooth is not extracted, as it does not have contact with the lower one, it will gradually extrude, which may cause unwanted premature contact and again an inflammation of the lower gum. If the wisdom tooth is in a horizontal position, it can come into contact with the 2nd molar causing damage that can even end with the loss of both teeth. To remove a wisdom tooth that has not erupted, an incision is made and the overlying bone is released. Sometimes it´s necessary to divide the tooth in different parts, in order to properly remove it. Different materials such as Plasma Rich in Growth Factors can be placed in the alveolus, which accelerates healing.
