A maxillary third molar is most likely displaced into what area?

  1. Maxillary sinus

  2. Mandibular canal

  3. Infratemporal fossa lateral to lateral pterygoid plate

  4. Oral cavity

The correct answer is: Infratemporal fossa lateral to lateral pterygoid plate

A displaced maxillary third molar is most likely to be found in the infratemporal fossa lateral to the lateral pterygoid plate. This location is the most common site for displaced third molars due to their proximity to the maxilla and the forces that can displace them during eruption. The other options are not typically areas where a displaced maxillary third molar would be found.
