Resumen
ALGOZAIN ACOSTA, Yudit y VINAS GARCIA, Mileydis. Accidental displacement of a fragment of a retained lower third molar towards the parapharyngeal space. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 2008, vol.45, n.1. ISSN 0034-7507.
The surgical removal of the retained third molars is the most common surgery performed by maxillofacial surgeons, even in a prophylactic way, and it is associated with trans- and postoperative complications. A case with displacement of a fragment of the left lower third molar towards the parapharyngeal space during its surgical exeresis is presented. It is a rare case due to its frequency and to the treatment used in this complication, since a few cases have been reported in international literature and none in our country.
Palabras clave : Third molar [complications]; third molar [treatment]; parapharyngeal space.
