Pericoronitis is the most common odontogenic problem associated with the wisdom tooth in young men and women. Patients may present with problems associated with infection, swelling and pain. However, other associated pathology such as caries, periodontal disease and referred pain from the temporomandibular joint must be investigated when treating pain from the wisdom tooth. The authors wish to present a case in which the pain from a wisdom tooth was due to a fractured dens evaginatus. The importance of this dental anomaly should not be overlooked.
冠周炎是年轻男女中与智齿相关的最常见牙源性问题。患者可能出现与感染、肿胀和疼痛相关的问题。然而，在治疗智齿疼痛时，必须对其他相关病变进行检查，如龋齿、牙周病以及颞下颌关节的牵涉痛。作者希望介绍一例智齿疼痛是由畸形中央尖折断引起的病例。这种牙齿异常的重要性不应被忽视。
