Forcing of the root into the maxillary sinus during tooth extraction--and what next?
In the everyday practice of a dental surgeon there may sometimes occur complications during tooth extraction. The anatomical vicinity of the alveolar recess of the maxillary sinus predisposes this area to the occurrence of complications in the form of joining of the oral cavity to the maxillary sinus. However, leaving an accidentally forced root in the maxillary sinus lumen may cause a chronic inflammatory state of the sinus or other complications; hence the vital importance of attempts to remove the root directly after its forcing. This work presents possibilities of root removal, directly after its forcing, through the postextraction dental alveolus or through access in the sinus side wall, similar to the procedure of sinus lifting.
