This report presents a rare symptomatic case of an MSRC in a 70-year-old female patient with a prior history of sinus perforation following upper molar extraction. The patient experienced severe unilateral facial pain, nasal congestion, debilitating headaches, and dizziness over a 6-month period. Radiographic imaging (CT scan) revealed a well-circumscribed, dome-shaped lesion in the right maxillary sinus without signs of bone erosion. Given the failure of conservative management and the intensity of symptoms, surgical intervention via the Caldwell-Luc approach was performed. Intraoperatively, the cystic lesion was enucleated and sent for histopathological examination. Histology confirmed a benign retention cyst lined with respiratory epithelium, along with inflammatory infiltrates and the unusual presence of cholesterol crystals, which is an uncommon finding in MSRCs. The patient's history of sinus perforation likely contributed to chronic inflammation and cyst formation. This case emphasizes the importance of considering dental history, particularly previous maxillary molar extractions with sinus involvement, in patients presenting with atypical sinus symptoms. While endoscopic sinus surgery is often the preferred approach, the Caldwell-Luc procedure remains valuable in selected cases with complex anatomy or previous surgical alterations.

To address the patient's concerns, we developed an interdisciplinary treatment plan, which included orthodontic treatment to level the curve of Spee, reduce the deep bite, and extrude the affected teeth. After that, we extracted the damaged Teeth 2.1 and 2.2 due to their poor prognosis and replaced them with autotransplantation of Teeth 1.4 and 3.1. Before the procedure, both teeth underwent endodontic treatment, and 6 weeks later, they were built up to aesthetically and functionally replace the lost teeth. Additionally, postautotransplantation orthodontic treatment was conducted to close the donor site space and bring the autotransplanted teeth to an ideal position. The interdisciplinary approach and successful treatment of this case suggest that autotransplantation can be a valid option for restoring compromised teeth, especially in adult patients who require orthodontic treatment.

Due to the complexity of distinguishing between these conditions, the term \"double tooth\" is commonly employed in clinical practice. The precise etiology of these anomalies remains uncertain, and their occurrence in permanent dentition-particularly involving molars-is exceptionally rare. This report describes an uncommon case of gemination affecting the mandibular left third molar (tooth 3.8) and provides a comprehensive discussion contextualized within existing literature. The case report was prepared following the CARE guidelines to ensure methodological rigor and completeness. <b>Methods:</b> After an intraoral examination and radiographic assessment-including orthopantomography, periapical radiographs, and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT)-the patient underwent surgical extraction. The procedure involved administering a truncal nerve block to anesthetize the inferior alveolar and lingual nerves, supplemented by local infiltration anesthesia of the buccal nerve. A full-thickness mucoperiosteal flap was elevated, followed by ostectomy and odontotomy to facilitate extraction. The tooth was subsequently removed using a combination of elevators and forceps. <b>Results:</b> Postoperative evaluations conducted at 1.5 and 3 months confirmed complete healing of the surgical site. A detailed analysis of pre- and postoperative radiographic and clinical findings validated the diagnosis of gemination, characterized by coronal continuity with a single root and root canal. <b>Conclusions:</b> Gemination of third molars is exceedingly rare, with only a few cases documented in the literature.
