A Case Report: Management of Displaced Root in Maxillary Sinus and Oro-antral Communication

Main Article Content

Abstract

          Oro-antral communication (OAC) is a common complication during the dental extraction of maxillary permanent premolar and molar teeth. Closure of OAC is very important for defects larger than 5 mm to prevent the accumulation of any food or saliva, which can cause the development of a permanent fistula and maxillary sinusitis. This report presented a case of root displacement into the maxillary sinus that is associated with oro-antral communication. A standardized Caldwell-Luc procedure was performed successfully for the retrieval of the displaced root from the maxillary sinus, highlighting the issues and management of acute oro-antral communication associated with a displaced root into the sinus. After surgery, the surgical site was completely healed without any complications.
