Résumé

The appropriate management of postoperative complication of wisdom teeth removal is of utmost importance as it can result in legal procedures. The accidental displacement of a maxillary third molar in the infratemporal fossa (ITF), is a rare complication that can occur even with experienced surgeons. The numerous retrieval techniques reported are invasive and provide an unpredictable access. Our aim was to achieve the safe and swift retrieval of the tooth displaced to an area of such complex anatomy.
