Summary:Most cases of dental implant displacement into the maxillary sinus have historically been removed via the canine fossa approach, but in recent years, there have been some reports of endoscopic endonasal sinus surgery (ESS) performed by otorhinolaryngologists. In this study, we reviewed cases in which ESS was performed in our department for maxillary sinus implants. In all cases, we were able to remove the dental implants by opening the natural opening of the maxillary sinus of the middle nasal passage. The combination with other sinus operations and nasal cavity improvement procedures resulted in a good outcome. The prognosis was good, and ESS was deemed an effective treatment for dental implant displacement into the maxillary sinus and associated sinusitis. However, the optimal approach should be selected after careful consideration of the size and location of the stray foreign body.
