Abstract
There are a number of techniques with which such horizontal impactions can be treated, with no single technique being favored over the other, as these all have pros and cons. Horizontally impacted third molars are usually indicated for extraction, and only in situations where the first or the second molar has to be extracted due to decay is when these are uprighted for replacement of the missing teeth. In contrast to vertically impacted molars there is a higher chance of success in uprighting horizontally impacted third molars as the cause is lack of space or blockage of the eruptive pathway.
