Implante dental migrado al seno maxilara propósito de un caso

Abstract

Introduction: Tooth loss in the maxillary posterior sites, in many cases involves a small amount of remaining bone which preludes placing dental implants. To solve this problem there are techniques such as sinus lifting, but althought it solves the problem in many cases, it is not without its complications. The migation or displacement of dental implants to anatomical regions such as the maxillary sinus is a rare but possible complication. Objective: To present a clinical case of a dental implant that accidentally moved to the maxillary sinus, to describe the factors causing this phenomenon and establish guidelines for treatment of this type of case. Clinical case: Male patient, aged 32, who was given osseointegrated implants in the second quadrant, came to our service and through a radiology study we saw the image of a dental implant at the level of the maxillary sinus that was extracted using the intraoral approach. There were radiography controls monitoring progress for a year after the extraction of the implant. Conclusion: There are many factors that can explain the migration of a dental implant into the maxillary sinus, and the current approach must be to extract it well using either with intraoral approach or through nasal endoscopy.
