“…The access by Caldwell‐Luc is the surgical technique of first choice that affirms in several reports; another surgical technique that could be employed is performed through an endoscope, which allows wide visualisation of the surgical field, but also has a high cost of the procedure and limited availability of skilled labour in dentistry, preventing routine use.…”

Removal of wood fragments from the maxillary sinus: a case report

et al. 2014

A foreign body in the maxillary sinus is an uncommon finding that could arise from traumatic conditions or iatrogenic dental treatments. Among non-odontogenic foreign bodies, it is possible to find glass, stones, wood and projectiles. Ultrasonography is a very sensitive feature in the perception of less dense objects, the most effective when compared with radiography and computed tomography, as the test of choice to assist in surgical removal of foreign body. Recurrent infections, neuralgia, chemical poisoning, antrolith formation and cutaneous fistulae may result from the presence of foreign bodies in the maxillary sinus. To avoid complications the foreign body must be removed either by the classical surgical Caldwell-Luc technique or through the endoscopic procedures. This is a report of a clinical case in which wood fragments traumatically introduced were removed from the maxillary sinus by the classical surgical Caldwell-Luc technique.

“…This event may occur because of improper planning or surgical inexperience, such as implant placement in atrophic and poorquality bone, perforation of the Schneiderian membrane during sinus grafting procedures, etcetera. This type of complication has been sporadically described in the literature (Iida et al 2000;Hasegawa et al 2003;Kitamura 2007;Nakamura et al 2004;Galindo et al 2005;Chiapasco et al 2009b.…”

An easy access to retrieve dental implants displaced into the maxillary sinus: the bony window technique

Clinical Oral Implants Res

Results from this study seem to demonstrate that the bony window technique is a safe and easy way to remove oral implants from the maxillary sinus under local anesthesia. The surgical access is hardly visible 6-12 months after surgery, and maxillary sinuses appeared free from residual pathology in all treated patients. Finally, this procedure allows a second-stage sinus grafting procedure via a lateral approach as in a previously untreated maxillary sinus, thus allowing an implant-supported prosthetic restoration.

“…11 Sinus malignancy through chronic stimulation of carcinogen from foreign bodies has also been reported. [11][12][13][14][15] Uniqueness of the present case is in the fact that past history of facial trauma by a stone 30 years back was present which patient had also forgotten and patient presented with a history of only 15 days. History, examination and radiological findings suggested that the case may be of carcinoma maxilla.…”
