A Rare case of Ectopic tooth associated with Dentigerous cyst in maxillary sinus
University journal of dental sciences, 2023
The etiology of ectopic teeth is not always known. Ectopic eruption of teeth may be associated with developmental disturbances, pathologies or may be iatrogenic.[1,2] Ectopic eruption of a tooth into the oral cavity is common, however 3 ectopic eruption of tooth at other sites is quite rare. Maxillary 1 sinus is not a common location for an ectopic tooth. When present in the maxillary sinus, ectopic tooth usually presents asymptomatically. However, some patients may experience symptoms like sinusitis, headache, runny nose, nasomaxillary anatomy deviation.[2,4] Dentigerous cysts associated with ectopic teeth within the maxillary sinus are rare: in the literature about 30 cases have been described. A 30 year male patient reported to the Outpatient department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with the complaint of pain and swelling in upper left side of the face since 15-20 days. No history of trauma was reported by the patient.
Ectopic Tooth in Mandibular Canal, Maxillary Sinus, and Mandibular Condyle
Case Reports in Dentistry, 2022
Eruption of tooth into place other than tooth-bearing region is defined as ectopic eruption. Although ectopic eruption of tooth is rare, there have been cases in the maxillary sinus, mandibular condyle, nasal cavity, chin, palate, and orbital floor. Due to ectopic teeth's rarity and lack of consensus for ıts treatment, incidence was entitled to be added to literature and discussed. It was reported that odontogenic tumors and cysts can develop around the ectopic tooth. Thus, ectopic teeth can be followed up regularly in case of no signs and symptoms. If the patient has unusual orofacial pain, undiagnosed nasal discharge, maxillary sinusitis, preauricular pain, preauricular fistula, trismus, and lip paresthesia, the patient should be evaluated in terms of ectopic tooth. Whether the patient has signs and symptoms related to ectopic tooth, early intervention for the removal of ectopic tooth along with accompanying lesion is the treatment of choice. Specialists choose intervention wa...
An Ectopic Unerupted Tooth in Maxillary Sinus
Journal of Evolution of medical and Dental Sciences, 2014
We report a rare case of ectopic unerupted tooth in maxillary sinus. CASE REPORT: A 23 year old female presented with oroantral fistula distal to right upper second molar. On radiography, there was an ectopic unerupted tooth in maxillary sinus, removed via sublabial approach with sinuscope. CONCLUSION: This is a rare case of unerupted ectopic tooth in maxillary sinus that presented with oroantral fistula. Opacity in maxillary sinus may be due to unerupted ectopic tooth. Complete removal of tooth along with associated mucosal disease of sinus by Caldwell luc (sublabial) approach with sinuscope is curative.
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 Tooth in the Anterior Wall of Maxillary Sinus
International Journal of Recent Surgical and Medical Sciences
A 16-year-old male patient reported to our department with a chief complaint of pain and swelling in the upper left cheek region. On examination, a maxillary canine was found ectopically in the anterior wall of maxillary sinus. Ectopic eruption of teeth into regions other than the oral cavity is rare. We present one such case of ectopic eruption of maxillary canine.

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.
Endoscopic treatment of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus
Journal of Clinical and Experimental Dentistry
Background: Ectopic teeth in maxillary sinus is rare and are usually removed via sub-labial trans-canine fossa approach (SLCFA). The aim of our study was to present our experience with extraction of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus via transnasal endoscopic approach (TEA). Material and Methods: Rhinologists were asked to share their experience in the management of ectopic teeth in the maxillary sinus. Data were reviewed retrospectively. Results: Eleven cases were reported in 10 patients from 2010 to 2019, six males and four females with a mean age of 33.5 +/-17 years (range 16 to 61). Seven patients complained of sinonasal symptoms, two were diagnosed incidentally during routine dental work-up, and one had oro-antral fistula. In eight patients, a cyst coexisted within the maxillary sinus. Teeth were located arbitrarily within the sinus. All cases were operated by TEA. One patient had self-limited periorbital emphysema, one had transient cheek numbness, and one had early post-operative bleeding that stopped after endoscopic cauterization. Long-term follow-up revealed good clinical outcomes. Conclusions: Transnasal endoscopic removal of ectopic teeth from the maxillary sinus is a feasible and rational approach when SLCFA is contraindicated.
Ectopic Eruption of a Maxillary Third Molar Tooth in the Maxillary Sinus: A Case Report
The Journal of Contemporary Dental Practice, 2005
Ectopic eruption of teeth into regions other than the oral cavity is rare although there have been reports of teeth in the nasal septum, mandibular condyle, coronoid process, palate, chin, and maxillary sinus. Occasionally, a tooth may erupt in the maxillary sinus and present with local sinonasal symptoms attributed to chronic sinusitis. We present a case of an ectopic maxillary third molar tooth that caused chronic sinusitis in the maxillary sinus. Citation Büyükkurt MC, Tozoglu S, Aras MH, Yolcu Ü.

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.
