“…When looking at studies and recommendations for the treatment of impacted lower wisdom teeth, such marked migrations within short time frames are extremely rare. When these migrations occur, they are often accompanied by the development of cysts both in the mandible and the maxilla, where teeth can then be displaced into the maxillary sinus. In this case, the most likely trigger for the migration is the further root growth (compare Figs.…”

This case has been presented as a poster presentation at the annual congress of the AGKi (Arbeitsgemeinschaft für Kieferchirurgie), Bad Homburg, on 10th May 2013. The authors disclose any commercial associations, current and within the past 5 years, that might pose a potential, perceived or real conflict of interest. AbstractTwenty to thirty per cent of wisdom teeth are partially or completely retained. A displacement of such teeth into the ascending ramus of the mandible is far less frequent with few reported cases in the literature. The case of a young lady and a review of the literature are presented. A 27-year-old woman was referred to the specialist department by her dentist. At the age of 22, a panoramic radiograph had been taken for an agenesis of the patient's lower left second molar. At this time, the lower left third molar was situated slightly submucosally at the angle of the mandible. In the present radiograph, the tooth had migrated into the ascending ramus of the mandible. Clinically, there was no pain, sensation disorder, disturbed occlusion, limited mouth opening or any other complaint. Due to significant tooth migration within the last 6 years, operative removal of the displaced tooth was recommended. Computed tomography showed that the distal root was in direct relation with the inferior alveolar nerve. Treatment was performed via a transoral approach. Post-operative follow-up was uneventful. This case stresses the importance of long-time follow-up of retained teeth and their immense potential for migration.

“…The traditional approach is Caldwell-Luc procedure, which allows a direct view into the maxillary sinus [12]. This approach was employed in this case which allowed direct access to the tooth as well as meticulous antral irrigation.…”

Location of ectopic tooth in a nondentate area like the maxillary antrum is rare. A 17-year-old boy, with one year history of recurrent right facial swelling and radiographic finding of a maxillary third molar tooth located at the posterior wall of the maxillary antrum, is presented. Under endotracheal intubation, the tooth was extracted through a Caldwell-Luc antrostomy approach and patient had an uneventful recovery and has been symptom free for eight months. Ectopic tooth in the maxillary antrum is rare and is commonest with maxillary third molar. It may be symptomless but is more commonly associated with inflammatory symptoms. The treatment of choice is surgical excision which is mostly carried out with Caldwell-Luc approach, even though endoscopic approach is being reported.

“…The literal meaning of dentigerous is "tooth bearing". 5 One of the theories that explain the pathogeneses of this cyst is the accumulation of fluid between the unerupted tooth and the reduced enamel epithelium. The incidence of DC is two times more in males than females, where 70% occurs in the mandible and 30% in the maxilla.…”

“…The incidence of DC is two times more in males than females, where 70% occurs in the mandible and 30% in the maxilla. 5 Although a DC may be associated with any unerupted tooth but the mandibular third molar and maxillary canine are the most involved followed by mandibular premolar and maxillary third molar. 5 Dentigerous cyst is discovered by routine radiographs or when radiographs are taken to investigate the failure of a tooth eruption, a missing tooth or misalignment.…”

A dentigerous cyst is an epithelial-lined developmental odontogenic cavity that encloses the crown of an unerupted tooth at the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ). Dentigerous cysts are the second most common odontogenic cysts after radicular cysts, accounting for approximately 24% of all true cysts in the jaws. 1-3 They are usually solitary in occurrence. The condition is frequently seen with the permanent dentition, usually associated with impacted mandibular third molars and maxillary canines. Pain, swelling, and facial asymmetry are occasionally seen; however, they are usually asymptomatic and observed during radiographic examination. 4 This report describes a rare case of a dentigerous cyst associated with an impacted mandibular left 3rd molar with an ectopic position of the inferior alveolar canal (IAC).
