Ectopic maxillary third molar teeth can often be located in the maxillary sinus, and the region necessarily requires a multidisciplinary approach due to its proximity to the oral cavity. Ectopic third molar tooth in the maxillary sinus was detected by oral and radiological examination in a 26-year-old male patient. The tooth was removed, and sinus augmentation was performed through the Caldwell-Luc procedure, and a dental implant was placed afterward. The treatment was ended by making a prosthetic metal-supported ceramic crown. Both removals of the ectopic tooth from the maxillary sinus, sinus augmentation, and implant operation can be achieved in a single operation of a single-window opened in the bone. As a result, because of the adjacency of the regions in operations related to the maxillary sinus, both the dental practitioner and the otolaryngologist should evaluate the operation, and multidisciplinary work should be done when necessary. |
