Wisdom Teeth
The wisdom teeth are the four teeth at the back of the jaws that normally erupt at around the ages of 18 - 24yrs. With the course of evolution the necessity of large spacious jaws are gone and the jaw size has diminished in modern man. This has lead to dissapearance of the fourth molar and have now resulted in anomalous positions of the third molars frequently occuring in small sized jaws of the modern man.
Such anomalous teeth become a serious problem when infection is superimposed on them that cause painful limitation of mouth opening and sometimes abscesses involving face.
