Thank you for taking time to answer my question. As I've mentioned, my dentist opted to remove my second molar because my impacted upper wisdom tooth was already very close to my sinus. My concern now is whether the wisdom tooth would still come out or not (because the bone graft might get in its way) and if it does, would it come out in the space previously occupied by the second molar. But it seems that I am the only one with this kind of problem. Thanks anyway for your answer.

Why was your second molar removed? Was the tooth infected?
Was the intention to make room for the wisdom tooth to come in?
