THE MAXILLARY WISDOM TOOTH IN THE MAXILLARY SINUS CAUSING A FOLLICULAR CYST AND MAXILLARY SINUSITIS

The authors have treated a 24 years old patient with a maxillary wisdom tooth erupted in the maxillary smus by which a follicular cyst and maxillary sinusitis occurred. 1. Enucleation of cyst wall and radical operation of the maxillary sinusitis were performed by application of Caldwell-Luc s operation. 2. The follicular cyst was supposed to be caused from the dental follicle of the maxillary left third molar erupted in the maxillary sinus. 3. We didn t maKe any decision that the cause of the maxillary sinusitis could have an interaction between the third molar and the maxillary sinusitis, for which perhaps common cold could influence an inflammation in the antrum. 4. In microscopic findings in the cyst wall enucleated, a lots of inflammatory cell infiltrations and destruction of epithelial lining in the cyst wall were observed.
