“… 7 There have been several reports regarding migration of dental implants, most commonly into the maxillary sinus and less commonly to other adjacent craniofacial structures. 1 – 3 , 8 – 10 To the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports regarding the migration of a dental implant into the nasal cavity through the maxillary sinus ostium.…”

“…However, these methods are not free of complications, such as implant migration into the sinus. There have been several reports regarding implant migration into the maxillary sinus [1][2][3] and only two reports regarding the migration of a dental implant into the ethmoid sinus; 4,5 to the best of our knowledge, there have been no reports of implant migration into the nasal cavity. This report describes an instance of this rare complication, with the aim of providing guidance for clinicians who may encounter similar situations.…”

The accidental migration (i.e., displacement) of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is a relatively common complication in dental clinical practice. Here, we report the extremely rare nasal cavity migration of a dental implant in a 23-year-old man. Considering the superficial location of the dental implant and the absence of oronasal fistula formation, we attempted to remove the implant via endoscopy, nasal bayonet forceps, curved hooks, and suction in an ambulatory surgery setting with the patient under local anesthesia. Importantly, we were able to extract the implant with only minor complications. The patient received medication for 2 weeks and exhibited uneventful healing. Our findings may be useful for physicians and dentists who encounter similar situations in clinical practice.

“…Other possible etiologies include autoimmune reaction, suboptimal distribution of occlusal forces, and changes in the intrasinus and nasal pressures which may produce a suction effect, thereby gravitating the implant into the sinus. Implant displacement into the maxillary sinus has been reported in previous studies; however, implant displacement into ethmoid sinus is an extremely rare complication. Most implant displacements are detected while the implant is still in the maxillary sinus.…”
