Can transverse blocked teeth be left unerupted?

Transverse blocked teeth usually need to be extracted because it may lead to the resorption and tilting of the neighboring teeth and other adverse effects. If the transverse blocked teeth are completely blocked without special symptoms or located near important nerves or blood vessels, they can be retained for observation as follows. 1. Transverse blocked teeth can often lead to diseases or symptoms in the surrounding tissues, such as abnormal resorption of alveolar bone, pericoronitis, root resorption of neighboring teeth, decay of neighboring teeth, tilting and shifting of neighboring teeth, food inclusions, occlusal trauma, etc. If the transverse blocked teeth have caused, or may cause, the above symptoms, they should be extracted as soon as possible. 2. If the transverse blocked tooth is completely buried in the jawbone without any adverse symptoms, or located near important nerves, blood vessels and tissues, such as mandibular neural tube, maxillary sinus, etc., and the trauma that may be caused by removal is large, the blocked tooth will be retained for observation, and will not be extracted for the time being. The same disease, the patient’s situation is different, the choice of treatment is different, it is recommended to visit the hospital for targeted treatment.
