Abstract
Archeological evidence proves that the impacted tooth is not an anomaly peculiar to our present-day civilization alone, but was present in the various ancient Egyptian civilizations. It also indicates that impactions resulted from lack of room in the dental arch due to faulty diet and other factors peculiar to their civilization. Developmental evidences show that the impacted tooth is the last tooth to erupt in its particular segment of the arch and that unerupted teeth are prevented from emerging due to obstructing anomalies. Impacted and unerupted teeth were intended to serve a definite function in the human denture and should be restored to normal alignment and function in the arch. In all the cases cited the various impacted and unerupted teeth were restored to function by applying the finger spring pressure directly to the impacted tooth immediately after surgical exposure, without resorting to cavity preparation in the tooth involved.
