A maxillary molar is most likely displaced into what area?

Maxillary sinus
Oral cavity
Mandibular canal
Buccal space

The correct answer is: Maxillary sinus

A maxillary molar is most likely to be displaced into the maxillary sinus. This can occur as a result of conditions such as a large periapical lesion eroding through the cortical bone of the maxillary sinus floor or iatrogenic factors during dental procedures like extractions or root canal treatment. When a tooth is displaced into the maxillary sinus, it can lead to sinusitis, pain, and potential complications. The other areas mentioned in the choices are not typical locations for displacement of a maxillary molar.
