Sometimes wisdom teeth may not find enough space to erupt onto jaw bone and stay impacted inside of it. And sometimes teeth may not be in eruption position but in horizontal or angled position. Impacted teeth can be followed with examinations without extraction unless they have negative symptoms like pain and infection. But when they cause pain and infection or if there's an orthodontic indication, the extraction is needed. On these teeth's extraction, especially on lower jaw, adjacence with the nerve must be evaluated.
