Impacted
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term impacted may refer to any of the following
- A condition where demand for a particular service, commodity or space is in severely short supply or high demand, such as on-street parking spaces, available seats in a very popular college class, or copies of a popular book, video or compact disc.
- Wisdom teeth which are severely embedded in the jaw.
- A condition which occurs when a person has been constipated to the point that the fecal material has become hard and difficult to remove. Also known as fecal impaction.
