An impacted tooth can become infected and painful, requiring extraction; it can also damage other teeth or cause the opposite tooth to grow abnormally long.Tooth, usually a wisdom tooth, so firmly wedged in the socket that it cannot break through the gum.A tooth unable to erupt due to crowding by adjacent teeth, malposition of the tooth, or developmental disturbances.A tooth that is developing in a position where it is in conflict with another tooth, bone, or soft tissue."}
