Abstract

AbstractAn unusual accidental displacement of a mandibular third molar crown into the parapharayngeal space in an adult female patient is reported. In combination with clinical examination, conventional and advanced radiographic techniques were utilised in order to locate the crown for retrieval surgery. Under general anaesthesia, an incision starting from buccal sulcus towards distobuccal angle of the second molar at gingival margin was extended to the coronoid process. The dislodged crown was found by means of blunt dissection and grasped with a pair of artery forceps and removed.
