Abstract
Ectopic eruption of teeth can occur in a wide variety of sites. These include the mandibular condyle, coronoid process, palate, nasal cavity and maxillary sinus. While this process is unusual, the detection of a third molar in the maxillary antrum is extremely rare. A case is pre sented of ectopic eruption of a third molar in the left maxillary sinu s of a 35-year-old caucasian male giving rise to local morbidity.
