The last teeth to emerge are called third molars, or wisdom teeth.
They may contribute to gum swelling, food trapping, decay or cysts in the jaw. The number of wisdom teeth varies between individuals.
Teeth remaining partly or fully beneath the gum are known as impacted wisdom teeth. Their position varies and affects extraction difficulty, so detailed assessment is important.

The tooth's position and direction are assessed and surgery is planned.
An incision is made at the extraction site when necessary.
