Accidental displacement of a fragment of a retained lower third molar towards the parapharyngeal space
Keywords:
Third molar/complications, third molar/treatment, parapharyngeal spaceAbstract
The surgical removal of the retained third molars is the most common surgery performed bymaxillofacial surgeons, even in a prophylactic way, and it is associated with trans- and
postoperative complications. A case with displacement of a fragment of the left lower third
molar towards the parapharyngeal space during its surgical exeresis is presented. It is a rare
case due to its frequency and to the treatment used in this complication, since a few cases have
been reported in international literature and none in our country.
