The aim of this case report was to review two cases of patients with impacted maxillary third molars. Both were symptomatic and presence of pathology clinically and radiographically. Surgical extraction of these third molars with accessible positions requires a bone removal. Moreover, it contains a high risk of displacement of the third molars into the maxillary sinus. The postoperative period for both cases was without complications.

Surgical extraction of these third molars with accessible positions requires a bone removal. Moreover, it contains a high risk of displacement of the third molars into the maxillary sinus.
