Abstract

Three case reports illustrate the inability to detect the presence of the impacted maxillary third molars by conventional periapical radiography. In each case there was extensive cystic proliferation causing damage to the bony maxilla, antrum, and tooth-bearing areas. The pathological conditions were subsequently detected by further radiographic study, and surgically treated.
