Case Reports

The necessity to adequately visualize impacted maxillary third molars: report of three cases



ER Mopsik
Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Georgetown University School of Dentistry, Washington, DC.

Three case reports illustrate the inability to detect the presence of the impacted maxillary third molars by conventional periapical radiography. In each case there was extensive cystic proliferation causing damage to the bony maxilla, antrum, and tooth-bearing areas. The pathological conditions were subsequently detected by further radiographic study, and surgically treated.
