FRACTURES OF MAXILLARY TUBEROSITY DURING EXTRACTION OF MAXILLARY MOLAR- A CASE REPORT AND REVIEW
Keywords:
Maxillary molar extraction, Dentoalveolar trauma, Maxillary tuberosity fracture, miniplate fixation
Abstract
Fractures of maxillary tuberosity during extraction of molar teeth can be a common occurrence in dental practice. However, very few cases are reported and discussed in the literature. These fractures can lead to serious complications. Depending on its dimensions, it can present both as a surgical as well as the prosthetic problem. From the prosthetic point of view, the anatomic area of maxillary tuberosity is extremely important for providing desired retention and stability of upper denture. This article presents a case of an extensive fracture of maxillary tuberosity during extraction of the maxillary second molar tooth and its treatment outcomes.
