ABSTRACT

Heterotopic third molars are dental organs that are in an anatomical site out of the ordinary, can be supernumerary, deciduous or a permanent tooth, which has been reported in different positions, including the coronoid region, nasal cavity, maxillary sinus, orbital region, palatal, mandibular condyle. The etiology of the heterotopic/ectopic eruption is unknown, although there are several theories such as bone-dental discrepancy due to evolution. The heterotopic/ectopic teeth are common in the jaw and in the female gender and can occur in both dentitions. Some heterotopic/ectopic third molars are asymptomatic during the lifetime and are usually found incidentally in clinical and radiographic findings. There are documented cases from 1887 to the present that its location is in the orbital rim. In the present article we present a clinical case of a surgical extraction of a third upper molar heterotopic in the orbital rim and that is described under the dental retention protocol established in the Regional Hospital «General Ignacio Zaragoza» of the ISSSTE in the City of Mexico, with which they obtain favorable results, first report of the literature in Mexico. A randomized review of the literature was made on pages such as PubMed, ScienceDirect and Springer, Cochrane Library and the clinical case report of a patient with a heterotopic upper third molar located on the floor of the right orbit was developed.
