Maxillary Sinus Augmentation Following Removal of a Maxillary Sinus Pseudocyst After a Shortened Healing Period

Sinus grafting and simultaneous removal of large antral pseudocysts of the maxillary sinus with a micro-invasive intraoral access

“…7,[11][12][13] Therefore, the removal of large APCs may be indicated prior to or at the time of sinus grafting. Although several protocols have been proposed to remove these lesions or to reduce their volume, 9,11,[33][34][35][36] a standardized procedure that combines efficacy and minimal invasiveness is still lacking.…”

“…Lin et al 33 described a two-stage protocol in which sinus grafting was performed approximately 3 months after APC removal. Eleven patients were treated.…”

“…Several approaches to sinus grafting in the presence of large APCs have been described, including removal of the pseudocyst via an intraoral approach followed by sinus grafting in a second stage, 33 simple suctioning of the cystic liquid during sinus grafting, 9,34 and removal of the pseudocyst with transnasal functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS). 11 The aim of this study was to describe the removal of large APCs at the same time as sinus floor elevation and grafting with a double intraoral approach.…”

Sinus Pathology and Anatomy in Relation to Complications in Lateral Window Sinus Augmentation

“…19,21,23,24 Sinus augmentation was performed with the presence of a pseudocyst in 2 cases. 23 One case developed an abscess postoperatively and was controlled by antibiotics, after which the implants had been followed for 7 months without further complications.…”

Implants placed simultaneously with maxillary sinus floor augmentations in the presence of antral pseudocysts: a case report

“…LIN et al present a modified tech-nique that can be used for predictable removal of a maxillary sinus cyst and sinus augmentation after a shortened healing period in patients with maxillary sinus pseudocysts 8 . KARA et al present a different experience of maxillary sinus floor augmentation in the presence of antral pseudocysts 7 .…”
