Abstract
PURPOSE: In this article the Authors show a safe and predictable technique to remove displaced implants from the maxillary sinus. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A 49-year-old female was referred, to this centre by a general dentist, for the retrieval of the ectopic dental implant. After a preliminary clinical and radiological evaluation of the case the surgical procedure was performed. A loco-regional anesthesia was carried out and then the Maxillary Sinus Retrieval Device (MSRD), proposed in this study, was inserted in the canine fossa, via a circular antrostomy 5,5mm wide, previous execution of a mucoperiosteal flap. The MSRD is a trocar, modified with a funnel-shaped cannula in order to allow the easy access of both an endoscope and a suction cannula or, in alternative, a straight forceps. The implant was easily found end retrieved thanks to the endoscopic control. The postoperative was uneventful and no nasal bleeding was reported by the patient. CONCLUSION: The Authors recommend the use of the MSRD in order to minimize the biological sacrifice consequent to the implant retrieval in the maxillary sinus.
