Diagnosis and treatment of maxillary sinusitis after implant placement.

Abstract

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prognosis and treatment of infection of the maxillary sinus associated with dental implants.

METHODS:

Oral and radiographic general clinical features of 2 patients who developed maxillary sinusitis after implant placement.

RESULTS:

The symptoms of maxillary sinusitis were improved by curettage through the lateral wall of the maxillary sinus, antibiotics, and sinus irrigation after 2 weeks of the operation.

CONCLUSION:

It was concluded that acute maxillary sinusitis should be treated with a direct approach to the maxillary sinus via lateral wall opening, regular irrigation in hospital, and antibiotics.
