Abstract :
Surgical extraction of impacted wisdom teeth is a daily routine dental practice. Still the possible complications that an oral surgeon may encounter necessitate an understanding of the involved anatomical spaces. In the present clinical report, we are addressing an inadvertent displacement of a maxillary wisdom tooth into left buccal space. We will also tackle anatomical landmarks to be respected and discuss the surgical procedure carried out.
