Abstract

The authors analysed 87 patients with displaced roots in the maxillary sinus. The roots of the first and the second upper molar tooth were most often displaced in the maxillary sinus. In 17,2% of the cases the symptoms connected to the oroantral communication were found and in 10,3% of the cases were connected to the sinusitis maxillaris. In 66% of the patients the roots were extracted from the sinus throught the alveola and in 27,6% cases the radical operation of the sinus after Caldwell-Luc has been performed. The complications after the extraction of the roots from the sinus were found in 9,2% of the cases. They were more often after the radical operation of the sinus (18,2%) then after the alveolar aproach (9,1%).
