Retrieval of two displaced dental implants from the maxillary sinus through Caldwell-Luc approach: A case report

Surgical Removal of Dental Implants Displaced into the Maxillary Sinus

The accidental displacement of roots, endodontic mate­ rials, and dental implants into the maxillary sinus is a relatively common complication in dental clinical prac­ tice [1]. Migration of implants into the maxillary sinuses (during surgery or after a period of function) has been reported [2­9]. Displacement of implants in the sphenoid [10] and ethmoid sinuses [11] has also been described in ...

Atypical Case of Three Dental Implants Displaced into the Maxillary Sinus

Oral rehabilitation with dental implants has become a routine treatment in contemporary dentistry. The displacement of dental implants into the sinus membrane, a complication related to the maxillary sinus, is one of the most common accidents reported in the literature. The treatment for this complication is the surgical removal of the implant. A 60-year-old woman with three dental implants dis...

Carcinosarcoma of the Maxillary Sinus: A Case Report

Carcinosarcoma is a highly malignant tumour exhibiting histological components of both carcinomatous and sarcomatoid elements. Carcinosarcoma is extremely rare in the sinonasal cavity. Due to the rarity and clinical diversity, these neoplasms are often misdiagnosed and pose a challenge in their management. Here we report a 44-year-old man with epistaxis and progressive symptoms of nasal obstru...

Caldwell-luc Approach for Surgical Removal Ofthe Root from Maxillary Sinus with Closure of Oro-antral Fistula

The palatal root of the first permanent molar is the most commonly deflected root into the maxillary sinus during extraction. A rational approach to the surgical removal of a root from the antrum is important. Some surgeons prefer the alveolar approach while others prefer the Caldwell-Luc operation. A case is presented where the palatal root tip of the left upper first molar was removed from th...
