Abstract

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.
