- Abstract
Theremoval of impactedmaxillary thirdmolars is one of themost common procedures performed in oral andmaxillofacial surgery units with low rates of complications and morbidity. A few cases of accidental displacement of thirdmolars into adjacent anatomical spaces, such as the infratemporal fossa, the pterygomandibular space, the maxillary sinus, buccal space, or the lateral pharyngeal space, during surgical interventions have been reported. In this paper, a case of a maxillary third molar accidentally displaced into the pterygopalatine fossa is presented, and the removal of the tooth via intraoral approach is described.
