Root in the maxillary sinus. 1987

J K Barclay

The accidental displacement of a root into the maxillary sinus is a recognized complication of exodontia. Such roots should normally be removed early rather than late in order to minimize the likelihood of maxillary sinus complications. A root left within the maxillary sinus may, on occasion, pass spontaneously into the nose. Appropriate treatment and possible complications are discussed.

A root may be single or divided into several branches, usually identified by their relative position, e.g., lingual root or buccal root. Single-rooted teeth include mandibular first and second premolars and the maxillary second premolar teeth. The maxillary first premolar has two roots in most cases. Maxillary molars have three roots.
