ABSTRACT

The extraction of the third upper molar remains one of the most common surgical procedures, whereas trans-and postoperative complications may appear, such as bleeding, pain, bone fractures, communication sinus, nerve and vascular injury; exceptionally, displacement of the dental organ towards the oral facial space may occur, resulting from the application of incorrect surgical techniques and excessive forces. This paper reports the clinical case of a female patient of 35 years old, with a diagnosis of displacement of a third upper molar right towards the oral facial space. Clinical features, diagnostic approach and surgical enucleation technique are described as well the patient is currently in a phase of recovery.
