When the lower wisdom teeth are extracted, it is generally recommended that the maxillary wisdom teeth be extracted at the same time. If the maxillary wisdom teeth are not extracted in a timely manner, it will cause the maxillary wisdom teeth to elongate, decay, and the neighboring teeth to decay, thus affecting the occlusal relationship.
1. Elongation of maxillary wisdom teeth: After the removal of the lower wisdom teeth, due to the loss of occlusal contact with the maxillary wisdom teeth, the maxillary wisdom teeth will elongate over time, thus affecting the occlusal relationship.
2. Caries: The maxillary wisdom teeth are more backward, which is not easy to clean, and the food residues accumulated on the surface of the teeth are not easy to be removed, which is easy to form caries.
3. Neighboring teeth caries: Wisdom teeth are easy to be embedded with neighboring teeth, resulting in neighboring teeth caries.
It is best to remove the mandibular wisdom teeth together with the maxillary wisdom teeth, and take a surface tomography film in the hospital before extraction to minimize the damage when extracting the teeth.
