ectopia of third molars within the maxillary sinus is uncommon. few cases have been reported in the literature. generally, the diagnosis of upper third molar ectopia at the level of the maxillary sinus can be made following a routine diagnostic examination such as panoramic X-ray, or CBCT in which any lesions created by the element itself can additionally be detected. our case presents a third molar included in the left upper maxilla of a 60-year-old male patient. the element was removed under general anesthesia, and after twelve months of follow-up, new panoramic X-ray and CBCT were requested to assess the healing of the compromised area.

Abstract
ectopia of third molars within the maxillary sinus is uncommon. few cases have been reported in the literature. generally, the diagnosis of upper third molar ectopia at the level of the maxillary sinus can be made following a routine diagnostic examination such as panoramic X-ray, or CBCT in which any lesions created by the element itself can additionally be detected. our case presents a third molar included in the left upper maxilla of a 60-year-old male patient. the element was removed under general anesthesia, and after twelve months of follow-up, new panoramic X-ray and CBCT were requested to assess the healing of the compromised area.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
