Abstract: | An unusual case of late self-extraction of an impacted left maxillary third molar that was displaced into the left maxillary sinus after a traffic accident is described. The patient had been operated on for a maxillofacial trauma after a traffic accident in a plastic and reconstructive surgery department 18 years ago. He was admitted to our clinic 1? years ago for obstruction and periodically purulent drainage from the left side of the nose. A displaced tooth in the middle meatus was diagnosed, and the patient refused a surgical procedure to remove the tooth. The tooth was self-extracted from the nasal cavity 1 year later. One week after the extraction, the patient was mostly healed and had no complaints. |
