title: [Preventive removal of displaced teeth].
abstract: Using the data acquired from our catamnestic survey, we were able to establish a broad catalogue of complications involved with impacted and displaced teeth. Given these complications, it is not medically responsible to leave impacted and displaced teeth in the jaw, even if they are asymptomatic. The risks increase considerably with age. Late operative removal of such teeth can be a dangerous intervention due to local complications such as abscesses, cysts, osteomyelitis, tumors, systemic diseases, and age-related changes in the cardiovascular system.
