Crowding. If the space between two teeth next to an unerupted tooth is less than 4mm then the tooth is regarded as impacted and grade 5i is recorded. |
|
Contact point displacements. Measured between anatomical contact points when permanent teeth deviate from the line of the arch. Not measured if any deciduous teeth are involved. |
|
Impeded eruption.
|
Tooth unerupted due to contact of or close approximation of adjacent teeth - That's an impaction and it's 5i |
|
Tooth erupted but not enough room? Then look at the contact point displacement. If the tooth has only partially erupted and has tipped against the adjacent tooth then that's a 4t. |
