ABSTRACT

There is a close relationship between the maxillary molars and the maxillary sinus. The main risks in dental procedures are tearing or perforation of the sinus membrane, as well as the displacement of third molars into this area during surgical procedures. Retrieval of a third molar from within the maxillary sinus requires adequate visualization; therefore, the Caldwell-Luc surgical technique is appropriate for this situation as well as for the removal of mucoceles. The present clinical case shows displacement into the maxillary sinus due to iatrogenesis during an attempted extraction of a third molar. Additionally, radiographic findings revealed occupation of the contralateral maxillary sinus by an unspecified mass, which was later diagnosed as a mucocele through histopathological examination. In both maxillary sinuses, the same Caldwell-Luc technique was used for surgical clearance.
