Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This case series describes an alternative approach for removing ectopically erupted tooth in the maxillary sinus using an improved endoscopic approach known as modified endoscopicassisted sinus surgery (MESS). We reviewed medical charts and radiographs of patients who underwent surgical removal of an ectopic tooth in the maxillary sinus using MESS. The surgical technique consisted of creating a bony window in the maxillary sinus wall with a pre‐adapted microplate, which was repositioned after the tooth was removed. For all the patients included in this study, there were no postoperative complications clinically and radiographically. At the time of microplate removal, satisfactory bone regeneration was observed around the bony window margins of the maxillary sinus wall. MESS is an effective technique that modifies and integrates the techniques of the conventional Caldwell‐Luc procedure (CLP) and functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) and can be used to remove ectopic tooth in the maxillary sinus by avoiding the risk of postoperative sinus‐related complications.
