Abstract

Sixteen cases of accidental insertion of foreign bodies into the maxillary sinus are reviewed. Thepatients were referred to our clinic between May 1994 and April 2004. There were many kinds of foreign bodies, such as tooth roots (50%), implants (13%), root canal filling material (6%), a reamer for dental treatment (6%), an interdental brush (6 %), and a fractured elevator (6%). These foreign bodies were removed in 11 ofthe 16 patients. The other 5 patients were followed up without surgical tratment because they had no symptomsor symptoms improved with drug therapy.
