If not appropriately managed, it may lead to adverse sequelae, with heightened risk in medically compromised patients. Although various surgical techniques are described in the literature, management remains case\u2011specific and sometimes contentious, with no clear guidelines for the dental practitioner. The case presented here is distinctive because it involves a medically compromised patient in whom treatment planning and surgical decision\u2011making required additional caution to ensure safe, minimally invasive retrieval and successful postoperative recovery.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Case Presentation<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A 68\u2010year\u2010old medically compromised patient presented with an apically displaced fractured root during extraction of the maxillary left first molar (UL6). Imaging showed that the distobuccal root fragment was entrapped within the Schneiderian membrane of the left maxillary sinus. Surgical intervention for root retrieval was delayed for 2 months due to the patient\u2019s concurrent health issues, during which time the patient experienced persistent facial pain. The root fragment was ultimately successfully removed via a conservative buccal alveolar bone window under local anaesthesia, with minimal postoperative complications and full resolution of symptoms.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This case report contributes to the limited evidence base of conservative alternative techniques to the Caldwell\u2010Luc approach for fixed\u2010type displaced root cases in older, medically compromised patients. It supports surgically trained general dentists to safely manage similar cases under local anaesthesia using equipment that is widely available in primary care.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1155\/crid\/7967444","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,8]],"date-time":"2026-04-08T06:06:56Z","timestamp":1775628416000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["From Displacement to Recovery: A Case Report on Surgical Root Retrieval in the Maxillary Sinus"],"prefix":"10.1155","volume":"2026","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0006-5429-7980","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jacqueline","family":"Portelli","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9701-6540","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Faisal","family":"Alzahrani","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_1_2","article-title":"Accidental Dental Displacement into the Maxillary Sinus during Extraction Manoeuvres: A Case Series","volume":"25","author":"Toledano-Serrabona J.","year":"2020","journal-title":"Med Oral Patol Oral Cir Bucal"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1051\/mbcb\/2020029"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.12968\/denu.2016.43.8.760"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_2","first-page":"36","article-title":"Treatment Protocol for Retrieval of Tooth\/Root Fragment Displaced in Maxillary Sinus: Report of Two Cases","volume":"1","author":"Kuthiala P.","year":"2019","journal-title":"Journal of Dental Research and Practice"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_5_2","article-title":"Maxillary Sinusitis Caused by Tooth Root Displacement Into the Maxillary Sinus: A Case Report","volume":"17","author":"Moreira D.
