Impacted wisdom teeth is a disorder where the third molars (wisdom teeth) are prevented from erupting into the mouth. This can be caused by a physical barrier, such as other teeth, or a disorder of development where the tooth is angled away from a vertical position.[1] Impacted wisdom teeth are usually asymptomatic, until they develop a communication to the mouth, their movement causes damage to adjacent teeth, or they develop pathology around the tooth such as a cyst, at which localized pain and swelling can develop.
