what is FB impaction?

[Rie]

I have FB impaction in 2 of my wisdom teeth and I'd like to know what it is. The other 2 are partial in bone impaction and soft tissue impaction.

And if someone puts "Facebook" your answer will be marked as spam.

rie, it seems like FB stands for full bony impaction. That essentially means your wisdom teeth are completely covered with bone all the way around the tooth. This makes removing the tooth a little more difficult b/c the oral surgeon will need to remove some bone to gain access to the tooth to wiggle it out. Hope that helps!
