Retrieval of two displaced dental implants from the maxillary sinus through Caldwell-Luc approach: A case report

Dental implants have gained popularity in the field of dentistry recently. There are multiple reasons for gaining this popularity, which include quick restoration of the function and esthetic. Along with many benefits, these dental implants are associated with many complications leading toward its failure. We present a case of displaced maxillary dental implants into the maxillary sinus. A 72-year-old male referred to our dental outpatient department complaining of pain, right nasal blockage, and headache at the right side of facial region. No intraoral soft or hard tissue abnormality was found on inspection. Orthopantomogram was advised and maxillary implants were found displaced into maxillary sinus or infratemporal fossa. Computed tomography scan investigation was done to see the exact location, and the implants were removed through Caldwell-Luc approach.
