Tooth in buccoversion

Last edited: 4/15/2026

Overview

Tooth in buccoversion, also known as buccal tooth displacement, refers to the abnormal positioning of a tooth within the buccal aspect of the alveolar process, often requiring surgical intervention for correction 1.

Diagnosis

  • Identification through clinical examination and radiographic imaging (e.g., periapical X-rays, CBCT) 1.
  • Assessment of tooth mobility and patient symptoms (pain, swelling) 1.

    • Management

  • Surgical repositioning under local or general anesthesia 1.
  • Potential need for orthodontic stabilization post-surgery 1.
  • Use of conscious sedation noted in some contexts, though often inaccurately portrayed 1.

    • Special Populations

  • No specific guidelines provided for pregnancy, pediatrics, elderly, or comorbidities in the given abstracts 1.

    • Key Recommendations

  • Utilize radiographic imaging (CBCT) for accurate diagnosis of buccoversion 1 (Evidence: Moderate).
  • Perform surgical repositioning with appropriate anesthesia based on patient condition 1 (Evidence: Expert opinion).
  • Consider orthodontic retention post-surgery to ensure stability 1 (Evidence: Expert opinion).
