Summary
Maxillary third molar extraction can rarely cause tuberosity defects. This case report details conservative management of a large defect via secondary healing, with successful patient follow-up.
Area of Science:
- Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery
- Dental Traumatology
Background:
- Maxillary third molar extraction is a common dental procedure.
- Tuberosity defects following extraction are rare but can result from forceful removal.
- Literature lacks extensive discussion on managing these specific defects.
Observation:
- A case of a large post-traumatic maxillary tuberosity defect is presented.
- The defect resulted from a forceful extraction of the maxillary third molar.
- The patient's defect was managed conservatively.
Findings:
- The defect was successfully managed through secondary healing.
- The patient is undergoing regular follow-up with positive outcomes.
- Conservative management proved effective for this rare complication.
Implications:
- This case highlights secondary healing as a viable conservative option for large tuberosity defects.
- It contributes to the limited literature on managing post-extraction tuberosity defects.
- Further research into conservative defect management is warranted.

The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin...
