Maxillary molar root fracture caused by sinus surgery: case report

Abstract: A case is presented in which a horizontal root fracture of the mesiobuccal root of a maxillary first molar was diagnosed as the source of a patient's chronic pain. Horizontal root fractures are rare in posterior teeth. The source of the fracture was determined to be trauma from access or curettage during two Caldwell-Luc sinus procedures. A detailed history and endodontic retreatment led to the diagnosis. A mesiobuccal root resection resolved the chronic pain.

“…(1995) reported a case of horizontal root fracture in a premolar, possibly because of excessive traumatic force exerted during the cementation of an over‐contoured adjacent crown. Jerome (1994) detected a horizontal fracture in the mesiobuccal root of a maxillary molar, which was because of traumatic injury during surgery to the maxillary sinus. In the current report, two cases are described with horizontal/oblique fractures in the palatal roots of maxillary molars concomitant with bony destruction.…”
