MAKSİLLER SİNÜSTE EKTOPİK DİŞLE İLİŞKİLİ DENTİGERÖZ KİST: OLGU SUNUMU

Abstract

Amaç: Maksiller sinüste ektopik diş nadir görülmektedir. Odontojenik gelişimsel bir anomali olarak görüldüğünde genellikle odontojenik kist, travma veya iyatrojenik etyolojiyle ilişkilidir. Bu vaka raporunun amacı, maksiller sinüste ektopik yirmi yaş dişi ile ilişkili dentigeröz kistin Caldwell Luc ameliyatı ile enükleasyonunu sunmaktır.

Gereç ve Yöntem: Yapılan klinik ve radyolojik incelemeler sonucunda 25 yaşında erkek hastanın sağ maksiller sinüsünde ektopik yirmi yaş dişi ile ilişkili dentigeröz kist tespit edildi. Caldwell-Luc ameliyatı ile maksiller sinüs içerisindeki ektopik diş çıkartılarak dentigeröz kist enükle edildi.

Bulgular: Radyolojik ve klinik olarak takibi devam eden hastada perioperatif ve postoperatif olarak herhangi bir komplikasyonla karşılaşılmadı.

Sonuç: Maksiller sinüste bulunan ektopik dişle ilişkili dentigeröz kistlerin enükleasyonunda  Caldwell Luc ameliyatı güvenli, minimal komplikasyonlu, basit, hızlı ve sık kullanılan başarılı bir yöntemdir.
