“…Supernumerary teeth only occur in 0.1–1% of the general population [17]. Despite a range of etiologies, the most common underlying reason for a maxillary sinus/nasal cavity foreign body is a history of a dental procedure [46]. We systematically reviewed the literature on the endoscopic removal of paranasal sinus and nasal cavity ectopic teeth.…”

“…The most common clinical symptom in paranasal sinus ectopic teeth was facial pain. One of the most common etiologies in ectopic paranasal/nasal cavity ectopic teeth is dental related trauma [46] and as such previous dental history should be elicited in patients with symptoms of nasal obstruction, rhinorrhea and epistaxis that are refractory to regular treatment. Additionally, a CT scan may be warranted for patients with these symptoms if previous dental history is present and they are refractory to their current treatment.…”

Introduction Ectopic sinonasal teeth are uncommon. The classic approach to removal of such foreign bodies was the Caldwell-Luc. In recent years however, endoscopic approaches have become increasingly utilized. Despite this, there is a dearth of literature and consensus regarding the endoscopic removal of ectopic sinonasal teeth. As such, we conducted a systematic review on all cases of endoscopic removal of ectopic sinonasal teeth in the literature. With an understanding of the literature, clinical and technical decision making for patients with this pathology may be elucidated. Methods Systematic review of the Ovid Medline, EMBASE Classic and Pubmed databases were conducted using PRISMA guidelines. Results Our search identified 100 articles. Final inclusion consisted of 23 studies with a total of 27 patient cases. The majority of the patients included were male (70.4%) with a mean age of 27.06 years. Patients presented with a multitude of symptoms, with nasal obstruction (48.14%), rhinorrhea (22.2%), facial pain (22.2%) and epistaxis (22.2%) being most common. Surgeons mostly reported using a 0° endoscope (22.2%) and performing a maxillary antrostomy/uncinectomy (37%) and simple extraction under general anesthetic (41%). Conclusions This systematic review analyzed important epidemiological, clinical and technical information regarding patients with endoscopic removal of sinonasal ectopic teeth. Further research is needed to promote implementation of such data into clinical practice.

“…Foreign bodies are frequently encountered in ENT practice, and are commonly found in the nasal cavities, ears, and pharynx [ 1 ]. However, a foreign body in the paranasal sinuses is rare, about 80% of which occur in the maxillary sinus [ 1 , 2 ].…”

Patient: Male, 32-year-old Final Diagnosis: Foreign body in maxillary sinus Symptoms: Blindness • eye bleeding • eye pain • history of trauma Medication: — Clinical Procedure: Caldwell-Luc Specialty: Otolaryngology Objective: Unusual clinical course Background: Paranasal sinus foreign bodies are rarely encountered in otolaryngology practice. Case Report: We present the case of a 32-year-old man who presented to our Emergency Department with his left eye bleeding after a nail gun injury. The initial physical examination revealed the presence of a left eye ruptured globe, which led to left eye blindness. An urgent plain X-ray scan was done, in which the presence of a metallic object impacted in the left maxillary sinus was demonstrated. The patient was managed surgically by an external approach using the Caldwell-Luc procedure, with no intra- or postoperative complications. Conclusions: Paranasal sinus foreign bodies, if improperly treated, can cause serious morbidity. Surgical removal, either endoscopically or through an external approach, is required.

Öz Dental implant displacement into the maxillary sinus is a rare complication. Maxillary sinus displacement of the implants is often associated with incorrect surgical planning or inadequate surgical technique. Dental implants often result in foreign body reactions in the sinuses and should be removed in order to avoid the development of sinus complications. A careful preoperative clinical and radiological evaluations and surgical foresight regarding anatomical formations should be done correctly and atraumatic technique should be performed in order to prevent these complications. In this study, a retrospective case series was presented to discuss the necessity of removing the sinus dental implant even if it is biocompatible.
