Abstract

Introduction: A radiographic examination of both maxillar and mandibular third molars is meant to support the surgeon in establishing a proper treatment plan.
This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) compared to panoramic radiography in determining the anatomical position of the impacted maxillar third molars in relation to the maxillary sinus or adjacent upper teeth.
Case presentation: A 42-year-old woman was complaining of facial pain and headache, with no signs of any disorders but, based on the panoramic radiograph, with presence of impacted maxillary wisdom teeth. 3D CBCT scans were performed to evaluate the position and direction of the impacted teeth in the maxillary sinus and related teeth. We noticed that the left third maxillar molar lying on the root of the second maxillar molar and the right one located inside the maxillary sinus were not clearly demonstrated on panoramic radiography. After that, an appropriate and concise treatment plan was set up and successful surgical removal was done.
Conclusion: This case presentation, presents, one more time, the superior diagnostic accuracy of cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) over the panoramic technique widely used in impacted teeth extraction planning and minimally possible invasive treatment approach without radiation exposure of conventional computed tomography (CT) scans.
