title: [Impacted teeth].
abstract: Prevention of impaction depends in many cases on the knowledge of variations in eruption sequences. However, in case of impaction, spontaneous eruption can be stimulated by exposing the tooth with the modified window-technique. Frequent communications between dentist, orthodontist and oral surgeon are required to determine the right time of intervention.
