Ectopic eruption into the dental environment is common, whereas eruption into other sites is rare. Diverse anatomical locations such as the mandibular condyle, coronoid process, palate, maxillary sinuses and nasal cavity can infrequently be the site of ectopic tooth eruption. One of the nondental sites for ectopic eruption is the maxillary sinus. Here, we present a case of dentigerous cyst with an ectopic maxillary canine tooth located below the floor of the right maxillary sinus in a 37-year-old man.
异位萌出至牙列环境很常见,而异位萌出至其他部位则很罕见。下颌髁突、冠突、腭部、上颌窦和鼻腔等不同的解剖位置偶尔会成为异位牙萌出的部位。异位萌出的非牙列部位之一是上颌窦。在此,我们报告一例37岁男性患者,其含牙囊肿内的上颌尖牙异位萌出至右侧上颌窦底下方。
