Abstract
The complications from surgical removal of the displaced upper molar root could be found that there were some fractured root from tooth extraction and displaced into the maxillary sinus. The possible treatment is surgical removal of fractured root by drilling through the lateral wall of maxillary sinus (Caldwell-Luc operation). Bone lid technique was employed to prevent bone loss and bony defect in the maxillary sinus by suturing the bone plate at the border of bone lid to the previous position, like bone grafting. It is a possible way of surgical treatment. This article is to present a case report of a Thai male patient who had a left upper first molar root fracture which moved through the maxillary sinus. The treatments were surgical removal of root fracture by bone lid technique together with the closure of the oroantral communication using buccal advancement flap. The treatment was done with a success result. The follow up was appointed one and half year after the treatment and there was no post-operative complication.
