title: Impacted premolars.
abstract: Tooth impaction is not uncommon among the population. Its management is important aesthetically and functionally to the patient. Treatment ranges from regular review, extraction of the primary tooth, surgical exposure of the impacted tooth, with or without orthodontic traction, auto-transplantation to its surgical removal. Any decision taken should be judged on individual merit.
