Inclusion criteria

✓. Full/complete bony: The entire tooth is below the level of the alveolar bone. The tooth is completely encased in bone so that when the gingiva is cut and reflected back, the tooth is not seen. Bone removal (large amounts) together with root sectioning will be needed to remove the tooth.
✓. Partial bony: A portion of the height of the contour of the tooth is below the level of the alveolar bone. The superficial portion of the tooth is covered only by soft tissue, but the height of the tooth's contour is below the level of the surrounding alveolar bone.
