Abstract
|
|
|
|
Implantation around the posterior maxilla area is often challenging because of alveolar bone resorption, sinus pneumatization or other reasons. To overcome these problems, maxillary sinus lifting and sinus bone grafting are often recommended, although these procedures have uncommon complications such as maxillary sinusitis and infection. Generally, Caldwell-Luc approach, inferior meatal osteotomy or functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS) have been popular options for the treatment of post-op sinusitis. there is another procedure called superior lateral wall antrostomy, permitted easier access to the maxillary sinus for treat sinusitis caused by sinus lifting. We report two cases of maxillary sinusitis related to failed lateral window technique as well as successful management with superior lateral wall ntrostomy.
