Tooth Suspended in the Maxillary Sinus (Case Report)

Abstract

Background: The presence of an ectopic tooth in a non-tooth-bearing area is a rare occurrence, attributable to various factors such as developmental anomalies, pathological processes, or iatrogenic activities. This phenomenon can manifest unilaterally or bilaterally. In certain cases, patients may experience symptoms including pain, swelling, and chronic or recurrent sinusitis, although it may sometimes be discovered incidentally.
