Main Article Content
Abstract
Ectorphic eruption of teeth is not common phenomenon. Ectopic eruption of teeth have been reported in nasal septum, mandibular condyle and maxillary sinus. Ectopic tooth eruption in maxillary or mandibular jaw is not rare, although ectopic eruption of teeth in other places other than maxilla or mandible is very uncommon.. In non-dental region the maxillary sinus is one of the place for ectopic eruption of the third molar. Developmental disruption, a pathogenic condition, and iatrogenic activity can all lead to ectopic eruption. In addition to being asymptomatic, this impaction may also manifest as chronic or recurring sinusitis, sepsis, or facial numbness. Some other clinical features may present like facial pain, purulent rhinorrhea, epistaxis, headache, edema, and naso-lacrimal duct obstruction due to epiphora. We have here describe how manage ectopic position of maxillary third molar.
