20
Q

list the types of displacement

A

infratemporal fossa - removal of U8 when tooth is partially erupted, root curves distally

subperiosteal - when small bit of root is left and tried to removed if there is an area of thinned/ fenestrated bone

lingual tissues - roots are fenestrating area of thin bone, attempt to retrieve root after fracture

Inferior alveolar canal

Maxillary antrum - canines and first premolars

21
Q

OAC issues?

A

perforation of max sinus
required repair
find the root that has been displaced
may need ENT referral
