Management of Sinus Infection After Immediate Implant Placement with Sinus Lift (Lateral Approach): Case Report

Abstract

describes the case of a patient who underwent acute sinus infection after dental implant placement with sinus lift. The implant was placed at the right maxillary second molar area, and the sinus lift with lateral approach was performed. After one week, acute sinusitis was caused in the right maxillary sinus. After the fixture and infected material were removed, sinus irrigation, membrane repair, and implant placement were performed simultaneously. This article reports a complication by iatrogenic cause of a routinely performed dental implant procedure and discusses management of sinusitis occurring by membrane perforation.

Management of Perioperative Pathologic Conditions Involving Maxillary Sinus for Dental Implant Placement and Sinus Augmentation: Report of Case Series and Literature Review

“…Management of postoperative maxillary sinusitisPostoperative maxillary sinus, the most common surgical complication after augmentation procedure, can be evoked by various clinical features: (1) pre-existing pathologic condition including chronic fungal/bacterial sinusitis or large mucous retention cyst; (2) postoperative inflammatory changes altering normal physiologic sinus function; (3) blockage of ostiomeatal complex by intra-sinus bleeding, graft material, thickened membrane or MRC; (4) bacterial contamination of graft material after recognized or unrecognized perforation of Schneiderian membrane 8,11,12,14,[27][28][29].
