“…CT is especially useful for the localization of ectopic teeth (4). CT is necessary and more valuable than plain film radiographs not only for definitive diagnosis, but also for evaluation of the associated pathoses, exact localization of the ectopic tooth and proper treatment planning (4,20).…”

A dentigerous cyst containing an ectopic canine tooth below the floor of the maxillary sinus: a case report

2007

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Ectopic eruption into the dental environment is common, whereas eruption into other sites is rare. Diverse anatomical locations such as the mandibular condyle, coronoid process, palate, maxillary sinuses and nasal cavity can infrequently be the site of ectopic tooth eruption. One of the nondental sites for ectopic eruption is the maxillary sinus. Here, we present a case of dentigerous cyst with an ectopic maxillary canine tooth located below the floor of the right maxillary sinus in a 37-year-old man. (J. Oral Sci. 49, [249][250][251][252] 2007)

“…Multidetector row CT (MDCT) with multi-planar reformation (MPR) and 3-dimensional (3D) imaging have become standard parts of the preoperative assessment for dental implants. CT is thus useful for the diagnosis and treatment planning for teeth in the maxillary sinus (3). We present herein a single case of an impacted tooth in the maxillary sinus identified using panoramic radiography and MDCT.…”

<b>A Case of Impacted Tooth in the Maxillary Sinus: CT Findings </b>

We report a case of impacted tooth in the maxillary sinus. The frequency of ectopic impacted tooth is higher with permanent teeth than with deciduous teeth, and the mandibular third molars are the most commonly impacted teeth. The most common site of ectopic impacted teeth is the maxillary canine area, followed by the mandibular molar area and ramus. However, impaction in the nose or maxillary sinus has rarely been reported. We encountered a patient with an impacted tooth located in the maxillary sinus. This case was coincidentally found on panoramic radiography and computed tomography (CT) for assessment of the alveolar bone with dental implantation. CT showed a marginal highabsorption area with clear and smooth boundaries of the long axis 18 mm in size, located in the floor of the left maxillary sinus. We confirmed the tooth as the second premolar impacted in the maxillary sinus from imaging findings of panoramic radiography and CT.

Nasolacrimal duct disease secondary to an unerupted tooth in a dog

A 5-year-old male neutered Lurcher was evaluated for left-sided epiphora of 4 months' duration and persistence following topical treatment and nasolacrimal duct irrigation. Physical examination revealed a missing left maxillary canine tooth, and CT dacryocystorhinography showed extrinsic compression of the left lacrimal duct and adjacent nasal turbinates caused by an impacted maxillary canine tooth. Further irrigation was successful in clearing debris from the nasolacrimal duct and temporarily relieving the patient of epiphora; however, surgical extraction of the tooth and radiographic monitoring was declined by the owner. Ophthalmic disorders may be secondary to overlooked dental conditions. This case describes the importance of inspecting the oral cavity as part of a general physical examination when presented with ocular signs, as well as assessing impacted teeth for evidence of pathology, and being aware of sequelae to dental impaction when advising clients on case management.
