Dentigerous cysts are benign odontogenic cysts that are associated with the crowns of permanent teeth. Dentigerous cysts surrounding impacted teeth often displace teeth into ectopic positions. In the maxilla, these teeth are often displaced into the maxillary sinus. We report 3 cases of dentigerous cysts associated with an ectopic tooth in the maxillary sinus and review the literature reports of this condition over the past 29 years.
Ectopic tooth in maxillary sinus: Case series
Annals of Maxillofacial Surgery, 2013
Ectopic eruption of a tooth within the dentate region of the jaws is often noticed in clinical practice and is well documented in the literature. But the ectopic eruption into the non dentate region is rare and scantly documented. The maxillary sinus is one such a non dentate region, apart from nasal septum, mandibular condyle, coronoid process and the palate, to accommodate such ectopic eruptions of teeth. Due to its rarity and lack of consensus over its management, the incidence deserves to be added to the literature and discussed. Early surgical intervention for removal of ectopic tooth along with enucleation of the associated cyst, if any, is the treatment of choice.

INTRODUCTION: Ectopic eruptions of a tooth in a non-dentate region is a rare entity and such cases have been reported to occur in the nasal cavity, orbital floor, maxillary sinus, mandibular condyle, chin, palate and coronoid process. CASE PRESENTATION: We report a case of bilateral ectopic eruption of maxillary third molars associated dentigerous cyst. A 27 years old female patient reported to us with chief complaint of purulent discharge form nose and recurrent facial swelling for last 2 years. Complete removal of cystic lining and extraction of ectopic maxillary third molars along with mandibular third molars was carried out. RESULTS: Post-operative healing was uneventful. DISCUSSION: Bilateral ectopic eruptions of maxillary third molars in Antrum of Highmore (Maxillary sinus) are rarely seen and scantly documented in the literature. Dental ectopia may occur in antrum and present with local sino-nasal symptoms attributed to chronic sinusitis. Due to its rarity and lack of consensus over its management, the incidence deserves to be added to the literature & discussed.
Dentigerous Cyst with Ectopic Tooth in Maxillary Sinus of A Child - A Rare Occurrence
Indian Journal of Dental Advancements, 2015
An ectopically erupted tooth with infected dentigerous cyst within the maxillary sinus of a child is a rare occurrence. A twelve year old male child presented with rhinorrhoea, haliotosis and swelling over the right cheek. It was diagnosed to be a large dentigerous cyst with ectopic tooth and right maxillary sinus. However it is a rare entity in children commonly occurs in mandible of middle aged persons. Early diagnosis and treatment is a essential as it has greater tendency to produce some resorption of other teeth as compare to other jaw cyst. Although marsupialization is treatment of choice in children but in this case the cyst had lined the antral cavity hence enucleation had to be done through Caldwell luc approach.

Ectopic Third Molar Associated With Dentigerous Cyst in Maxillary Sinus: A Case Report
Indian Journal of Public Health Research & Development, 2022
Dental development is an interactive event between the oral epithelium and mesenchymal tissue. Any abnormal interaction at any step may result in ectopic teeth development.Teeth that are ectopically developed in non-dental areas has been reported in the nasal cavity, nasal septum, chin and maxillary sinus. Ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus are asymptomatic in most cases;however it may precipitate sinusitis or sometimes result in ophthalmic symptoms.We report a case of ectopic maxillary third molar inthe right maxillary sinus with a non-specific symptoms which was enucleated out with the surrounding dentigerous cyst via a Caldwell-Luc procedure.
Craniomaxillofacial Trauma & Reconstruction, 2016
This article presents a case report of an adult patient with chronic sinusitis related to the presence of two erupted ectopic teeth located atypically in the maxillary sinus roof/orbital floor after a long latency period associated with childhood facial trauma. This article aims to show the treatment of chronic sinusitis of odontogenic origin by surgical removal of ectopic teeth in an unusual position by direct visualization. This case report discusses the signs and symptoms of chronic sinusitis linked to the presence of ectopic elements and associated with an inflammatory cyst, the choice of complementary tests for diagnosis and surgical treatment through the Caldwell-Luc procedure. After a 2-year follow-up period, the patient presently shows clinical improvement, thus demonstrating the success of the chosen treatment.

Ectopic development of teeth in nondental areas is uncommon, especially in the maxillary sinus. A panoramic radiograph is the routine diagnostic radiographic examination performed for this type of eruption, although cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is highly recommended for further localization of the ectopic tooth and assessment of the characteristics of any associated lesion before a surgical procedure. We report a case of a 13-year-old female student who presented with purulent discharge posterior to the upper right second molar with a bad taste and foul odour. Radiographic examination revealed a maxillary third molar tooth located at the posterosuperior aspect of the right maxillary sinus with a hyperdense lesion surrounding the crown, obliterating the sinus cavity. Both the tooth and dentigerous cyst were surgically removed under general anaesthesia through Caldwell-Luc antrostomy. After a three-month follow-up, the patient was symptom free and had an uneventful recovery. T...
