Case Report: Transoral retrieval of a displaced mandibular tooth in the parapharyngeal space: A patient with clinical unusual findings

Abstract

Accidental displacement of the lower third molar is a fairly rare complication, but may cause tissue injury and considerable functional incapacitation when it occurs. We report this particular case to remind clinicians on the ways to manage this complication, highlighting the use of basic imaging and simple surgical techniques.
