This case report presents the clinical details and management of a 40-year-old male welder who presented with a foreign body lodged in his left malar region for eight months following a work-related injury. The patient experienced persistent pain, intermittent swelling, and occasional discharge, prompting medical evaluation. Radiographic imaging confirmed the presence of a metallic object, and surgical exploration under local anesthesia led to successful removal. Postoperatively, the patient experienced complete resolution of symptoms, highlighting the importance of prompt intervention in cases of foreign body impaction to prevent complications and improve patient outcomes.

Introduction: Foreign bodies (FB) of the paranasal sinuses are an uncommon clinical entities with the maxillary sinuses being those most frequently affected. According to the literature, 60% of paranasal sinus FB are of iatrogenic origin, while 25% are of traumatic origin. This article aims to present an iatrogenic origin series of cases of FB displaced or projecting into the maxillary sinus. Materials and Methods: In this retrospective study, the presence of the foreign body was revealed with radiologic methods and confirmed during the operation with macroscopic or later with histopathologic examination. All cases were treated with osteoplasty with vascularised pedicled bone flap or through minimally invasive intraoral procedure. Results: A total of 27 patients were included in our study, 14 men and 13 women. The age range was 18–65 years with mean age of 46.14 (standard deviation = 10.35) years. Foreign body was displaced fragments of teeth in 11 patients (40.27%), complete teeth in four patients (14.81%), dental implants in five patients (18.51%), dental impression material in 2 cases (7,40%), gutta percha cone in two patients (7.40%), endodontic sealer associated with aspergillosis in two patients (7.40%), and dental burr in one patient (3.7%). The time between dental foreign body displacement and the surgical intervention for its removal was critical for the occurrence of sinusitis. All operated patients remained asymptomatic during a follow-up of at least 1 year. Discussion: Prompt intervention for removal of FB eliminates the risk for chronic inflammation of the affected maxillary sinus and reduces the odds for sequelae.

Introdução: A utilização de implantes dentários como opção para a reabilitação oral revolucionou o tratamento dentário e tornou-se prática rotineira na odontologia. Apesar dos avanços tecnológicos, inúmeras complicações são relatadas na literatura. Objetivo: Relatar um caso raro de migração de implante dentário para o seio etmoidal e descrever a conduta terapêutica. Relato de Caso: Paciente com diagnóstico de deslocamento e migração de implante para o seio etmoidal. A remoção foi realizada através de cirurgia endoscópica funcional do seio paranasal. Conclusão: A remoção de corpos estranhos em seios paranasais deve ser a mais breve possível. A cirurgia endoscópica mostrou-se segura e de fácil execução.
