This session will address the treatment of unerupted ectopic and supernumerary teeth, excluding molars.

Learning objectives

By the end of this session you will be able to:

  • list the indications for removal of ectopic teeth
  • assess the risks of managing ectopic teeth
  • list various treatment choices and their limitations

A tooth is ectopic if it is malpositioned due to congenital factors or displaced by the presence of pathology. The tooth can be soft tissue impacted or hard tissue impacted due to either bone or tooth tissue. If the tooth is not impeding treatment, or related to pathology or local resorption, there may be no indication to intervene. Just because a tooth is impacted or ectopic does not necessarily indicate that the tooth must be treated.
