Foreign bodies in maxillary sinuses are unusual clinical conditions, and they can cause chronic sinusitis by mucosal irritation. Most cases of foreign bodies in maxillary sinus are related to iatrogenic dental manipulation and only a few cases with non-dental origin are reported. Oroantral fistulas secondary to dental procedures are the most common way of insertion. Treatment is surgical removal of the foreign body either endoscopically or with a combined approach, with Caldwell-Luc procedure if endoscopic approach is inadequate for visualisation. In this case, we present a 24-year-old male patient with unilateral chronic maxillary sinusitis due to a wooden toothpick in left maxillary sinus. The patient had a history of upper second premolar tooth extraction. CT scan revealed sinus opacification with presence of a foreign body in left maxillary sinus extending from the floor of the sinus to the orbital base. The foreign body, a wooden toothpick, was removed with Caldwell-Luc procedure since it was impossible to remove the toothpick endoscopically. There was no obvious oroantral fistula in the time of surgery, but the position of the toothpick made us to think that it was inserted through a previously healed fistula, willingly or accidentally.

We report a case of chronic maxillary sinusitis caused by denture lining material entering through an oroantral fistula after tooth extraction. The patient was an 80-year-old female who visited us with a complaint of pus discharge from the right posterior maxilla. She had extraction of the upper right second molar and had her upper denture relined with silicone lining material. The patient noticed swelling of the right cheek and purulent rhinorrhea 20 days before her first visit to our clinic. Oral examination showed an oroantral fistula with a diameter of 3 mm in the posterior alveolar ridge of the right maxilla. Computed tomography revealed a hyperdense foreign body in the right maxillary sinus and thickening of the mucosal lining. Under diagnosis of maxillary sinusitis caused by a foreign body, endoscopic maxillary surgery was performed simultaneously with the removal of the foreign body. The foreign body removed was 12 × 6 mm in size, oval in shape, light pink in color, and compatible with silicone denture lining material. During the follow-up it was observed that the oroantral fistula closed spontaneously after the removal of the foreign body. The maxillary sinus was in a good shape without recurrence of sinusitis seven months after surgery.

During the surgical removal of maxillary molars, tooth or fragment displacement into the maxillary sinus may occur. The presence of foreign bodies inside these cavities leads to complications such as mucoceles, cellulitis, oroantral fistulae and maxillary sinusitis, to prevent the arise and worsening of complications, these events must be addressed in an early stage. This article aims to report the removal of a tooth root from the maxillary sinus, through the modified Caldwell-Luc (CLM) approach and describe the current indications for the Caldwell Luc technique. It reports an upper third molar surgery in which a patient had the distal root of the left superior third molar displaced into the maxillary sinus, later showing signs of sinus opacification and loss of patency of the maxillary ostium obstructed by the root. After antibiotic treatment, the root was recovered through the CLM technique by local anesthesia, without complications. Foreign bodies in the maxillary sinuses must be urgently addressed, avoiding the development of infectious conditions, the CLM approach is the choice approach to manage these complications by a simple and safe way.

The maxillary sinus is a pneumatized anatomical structure located bilaterally in the anterior region of the maxilla. The occurrence of displacement of foreign bodies in the maxillary sinus is not a common condition and when present, it is associated with car accidents, fire arm accidents, psychiatric disorders and iatrogenies in surgical procedures. The removal of the foreign body is carried out in order to prevent infections, and the permanence of the foreign body may offer immediate or chronic damage. Access to the maxillary sinus is most commonly performed using the Caldwell-Luc access technique. Thus, the objective of the study is to report a clinical case of surgical removal of a maxillary third molar from the interior of the maxillary sinus using the caldwell-luc access technique, with the aid of a surgical guide in order to conduct a safer and less invasive surgery.

<p class="abstract">Foreign body in paranasal sinus is rare. Very few cases have been reported of lodgement of foreign body in paranasal sinuses. Garces and Norris reported that 70% of these foreign bodies usually appeared after maxillofacial traumas and 30% appeared during or after dental procedures of maxilla. Foreign bodies are less common in the frontal sinus as compared to maxillary sinus. This is a case of foreign body in frontal sinus in an eighteen-year-old gentleman after a road traffic accident.</p>

Instrument fracture during procedure is not uncommon for dental surgeons, especially in root canal surgeries, usually inside the root canals. In rare instances, high-speed rotary instruments can be fractured and can be dislodged in key anatomical areas of face. In our case report, a high-speed dental burr most probably penetrated the root and was seen in the left maxillary sinus during a likely routine dental procedure. The work-up and endoscopic surgical management of the case is described. Practitioners should be in great care during dental procedures and endodontic treatment to avoid unexpected complications by introducing foreign bodies into maxillary sinus. Any patient presenting with recurrent unilateral facial pain or unilateral sinus symptoms with/without previous history of sinusitis should raise the suspect of a foreign body in the paranasal sinus regardless of any previous history of dental procedure.

Aspergillosis is a fungal disease caused by fungus aspergillus ; this disease frequently involves the lungs and occasionally the maxillary sinus. Aspergillosis in the maxillary sinus usually has the characteristics of a non-invasive form. It has been suggested that spores of aspergillus can be inhaled to the maxillary sinus via the osteomeatal complex or via through an oroantral fistula after dental procedures such as an extraction. However, maxillary aspergillosis related to implant installation has rarely been reported. This report regards unusual cases of maxillary aspergillosis associated with dental implant therapies in healthy patients. The cases were successfully treated with the surgical removal of the infected or necrotic tissues.

Ectopic Third Molar

The maxillary sinus is a pneumatic space that, when inside it contains foreign bodies, can trigger infections or inflammations of different severities, causing the appearance of cysts, tumors or the development of chronic sinusitis. Imaging is essential for the correct diagnosis of the case, as well as surgical planning for the removal of the foreign body. The present work aims to describe a clinical-surgical case of a patient with an ectopic third molar in the maxillary sinus, emphasizing the clinical, radiographic characteristics, therapeutic conduct and surgical technique, as well as showing the importance of theoretical and practical knowledge regarding the subject. A 49-year-old female patient attended the university’s dental clinic for surgical removal using the Caldwell-Luc technique of the ectopic upper third molar in the left maxillary sinus. The surgical removal of the ectopic element in the maxillary sinus was effective in the case presented, preventing the patient from future pathologies that could affect the sinus, as well as the symptomatological reduction of sinusitis.

Displaced dental implants into the maxillary sinus are relatively rare. Treatment consists of implant surgical removal. Objective: To present two case reports of the removal of implants displaced into maxillary sinus by a conservative technique. Case report: Report 1: A 44-year-old female sought for treatment complaining about headaches and recurrent sinusitis. In the anamnesis she reported she had been undergone placement of nine maxillary implants, fifteen years ago, with total loss of those elements. At the imaging exams it was possible to observe two displaced implants into the bilateral maxillary sinus, besides radiopaque image on the left maxillary sinus, compatible with maxillary sinusitis. Based on this data, the proposed treatment plan was the removal of the displaced implants through Caldwell Luc approach and sinusotomy in the left side, under general anesthesia. The patient has a follow-up of 6 months without complaints. Report 2: A 42-year-old male was referred to the Surgery and Maxillofacial Traumatology Department for implant removal from the right maxillary sinus. Patient underwent implant installation in the area around 9 months ago. In the computarized tomography it was possible to diagnose the implant migration into the right maxillary sinus. the proposed treatment plan was the removal of the displaced implant via Caldwell Luc Access by repositioning the bony window and sinusotomy. Results: Patient has been with no complaints at 30 days after surgery. Conclusion: The technique has been shown to be effective in treating the condition.

Abstract Displacement of foreign bodies into the maxillary sinus is still a rare pathology, but the incidence is increasing continuously with the development of dental procedures. Most cases of foreign bodies are associated with dental procedures. These can be of varying natures, such as dental implants, fractured teeth roots, endodontic materials and tools, dental burs, dental impression materials or dental fillings materials. Less frequent are the foreign bodies of non-dental origin, which are related to facial injuries in accidents or assaults. The diagnosis is based on careful clinical and radiological examinations. Foreign bodies should be diagnosed and treated on time in order to prevent complications, mainly acute or chronic rhinosinusitis. In this article, we review the main characteristics regarding the incidence, etiology, diagnosis and treatment options – endoscopic and an external approach for the removal of a displaced foreign body into the maxillary sinus. Also, we present our personal experience and treatment options, highlighting the importance of pre-operative evaluation, proper imaging assessment, adequate access and visibility and adequate surgical technique, in order to prevent later sinonasal infectious complications.
