Migration of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is uncommon. However, poor bone quality and quantity in the posterior maxilla can increase the potential for this complication to arise during implant placement procedures. The aim of this report is to present a dental implant that migrated into the maxillary sinus and disappeared. A 53-year-old male patient was referred to us by his dentist after a dental implant migrated into his maxillary sinus. The displaced implant was discovered on a panoramic radiograph taken five days before his referral. Using computed tomography, we determined that the displaced dental implant was not in the antrum. There was also no sign of oroantral fistula. Because of the small size of the displaced implant, we think that the implant may have left the maxillary sinus via the ostium.
牙种植体移入上颌窦的情况并不常见。然而，上颌后牙区骨质质量和数量不佳会增加在种植体植入过程中出现这种并发症的可能性。本报告的目的是呈现一例移入上颌窦并消失的牙种植体。一名53岁男性患者在其牙种植体移入上颌窦后，经其牙医转诊至我们处。在转诊前五天拍摄的全景X线片上发现了移位的种植体。通过计算机断层扫描，我们确定移位的牙种植体不在窦腔内。也没有口鼻瘘的迹象。由于移位种植体体积较小，我们认为种植体可能已通过窦口离开上颌窦。
