Abstract

Mandibular molar impaction. Why, when, and how to treat them.
Dr. Abraham Kyriakides Limassol Cyprus  Scient. Collaborator at Orthodontic department of European University Cyprus.
Guest Lecturer TAU  aviskyri@gmail.com Aim: The impaction of 1st or 2nd molars before, during or after orthodontic treatment is a problem that needs to be addressed as soon as we reveal it. The scope of this presentation is to highlight the problem and discuss the possible treatment, according to the problem complexity and severity.
Material and Method: Three cases with different ages and complexity, were presented. Three different treatment plans were suggested and performed according to the patient’s problem and the lesstraumatic procedure gave satisfactory results.
Results and Conclusions: Looking for answers to the critical questions of why, how and when we must include parents in early detection is the clue in these cases where the best results can be achieved. Close monitoring of the case allows us to intervene and guide the eruption in favorable paths. If we realize the problem late, the common dilemma in Orthodontics would be to extract or not extract. We must follow the less invasive of two options. Important to raise awareness of both general dentist and Orthodontist for this problem.
