Displacement of teeth and tooth roots
Displacement of teeth and tooth roots is a complication that can occur during tooth extraction, where teeth or roots are involuntarily displaced to the sinus or, more rarely, to the floor of the mouth. Dental implants can also be displaced, especially in the molar region of the upper jaw. X-rays are used to confirm displacement, and if foreign bodies end up in the sinus, referral to an oral surgeon is often required to perform a safe extraction.
Displaced tooth roots or implants can lead to discomfort and sometimes serious complications if not properly removed. Therefore, it is important to quickly obtain a thorough assessment and, if necessary, a surgical extraction of these foreign bodies to minimize the risk of infections and inflammation in the sinus.
