Accidental Entry of Foreign Body in Maxillary Sinus—A Case Report

Abstract: Extraction of the first molar or premolar is the commonest cause of oro-antral fistula. Management involves identification of the same, removal of any foreign body from the maxillary sinus, if present, followed by appropriate flap for closer. A case is presented when a gutta percha (GP) point was accidentally dislodged into the right maxillary sinus during preliminary diagnosis of the oro-antral fistula. The surgical management of the case is described and is the appropriate treatment plan.

“…The diameter of OAC usually decreases but sometimes the antrum to the mouth's path fail to heal and become a layered epithelium, if this occurs, it means the relationship between the antrum and the nose can be a fistula (oroantral fistula/OAF). The fistula is a pathway for infection and can cause acute sinusitis that inhibits the healing's process [2,3,4].…”

“…The most commonly found foreign bodies are displaced fractured roots of teeth and in some instances displaced whole teeth [ 5 ]. Other foreign bodies include dental burs, root-filling material, amalgam, needles, dental implants, and impression material [ 5 - 10 ]. Foreign bodies can get into the maxillary sinus due to trauma or accidentally during dental or surgical treatment.…”

“…Maxillary sinusitis secondary to the presence of foreign bodies is an unusual clinical complication [ 4 ]. Most foreign bodies, such as roots of teeth, root-filling materials, dental implants, and dental impression materials, are related to iatrogenic dental manipulation and/or the presence of an oroantral fistula [ 5 - 9 ].…”
