ABSTRACT

Iatrogenic displacement of maxillary third molars and root tips is a rarely reported complication with an unknown incidence. Maxillary (upper) third molars may have only a thin layer of bone separating them from the maxillary sinus. The tooth or the root can be displaced into the maxillary sinus if the wrong surgical technique is used. The most common causes of such displacement are excessive apical force and poor surgical technique. In general, either the root or the entire tooth can be removed using a Caldwell-Luc procedure under local anesthesia. Early recognition and the proper management of complications will minimize consequences such as maxillary sinusitis.
