Abstract

Food impaction is a prevalent dental issue where food becomes trapped in interproximal spaces or near restored teeth, leading to discomfort, periodontal disorders, and tooth wear. This review explores the classification and treatment of food impaction, focusing on vertical and horizontal types. Effective management necessitates a thorough examination of the underlying causes to determine the most suitable approach. Vertical impaction is typically addressed through restoring adjacent contacts, adjusting occlusion, reshaping teeth or prostheses, and modifying both adjacent and opposing teeth. Horizontal impaction is managed with periodontal therapy, gingival and papillary reconstruction, addressing dentition deficiencies, and promoting oral hygiene and healthy lifestyle habits. It is crucial to avoid iatrogenic factors as well. Despite advancements in classification and treatment approaches, several limitations persist, including insufficient personalized treatment planning, a lack of longitudinal studies, and inconsistent multidisciplinary collaboration. Future research should prioritize the development of personalized treatment strategies, long-term studies, and the application of innovative technologies to improve treatment outcomes and reduce the incidence of food impaction.

食物嵌塞的分类与治疗。
食物嵌塞是一种常见的牙齿问题,当食物被困在近端间隙或修复的牙齿附近时,会导致不适、牙周疾病和牙齿磨损。本文综述了食物嵌塞的分类和治疗方法,重点介绍了垂直和水平两种类型。有效的管理需要彻底检查潜在的原因,以确定最合适的方法。垂直嵌塞通常通过修复邻近接触、调整咬合、重塑牙齿或假体以及修改相邻和对立牙齿来解决。水平嵌塞是通过牙周治疗、牙龈和乳头重建、解决牙齿缺陷、促进口腔卫生和健康的生活习惯来管理的。避免医源性因素也是至关重要的。尽管分类和治疗方法取得了进步,但仍存在一些局限性,包括个性化治疗计划不足、缺乏纵向研究以及多学科合作不一致。未来的研究应优先考虑个性化治疗策略的发展、长期研究和创新技术的应用,以改善治疗效果和减少食物影响的发生率。
