Abstract

Displacement of a foreign body in
maxillary sinuses is a common complication in dentistry. However, metallic
foreign bodies except dental implants are rarely found in the maxillary sinus.
Displaced foreign bodies can cause serious complications and disturb the
mucociliary function and this causes potential complications, mainly acute or
chronic maxillary sinusitis. This article reported metallic objects penetrating
maxillary sinuses of two patients including a membrane fixation screw and a
dental burr, as well as their removal with Caldwell-Luc technique. Foreign
bodies should be detected and removed on time in order to prevent complications.
Otherwise, in advanced stages, the affected area should be reached with
Caldwell-Luc operation or endoscopic approaches.

Keywords:
Maxillary Sinus, metallic
foreign body, Caldwell-Luc

MAKSİLLER SİNÜSE KAÇAN METALİK YABANCI
CİSİMLERİN ÇIKARTILMASI: İKİ VAKA RAPORU

ÖZ

Diş hekimliği uygulamaları esnasında maksiller sinüse yabancı
cisim kaçması sık karşılaşabilen bir komplikas- yondur. Diğer yönden dental
implantlar dışında kalan metalik yabancı cisimlerin maksiller sinüse kaçması
oldukça nadirdir. Yabancı cisimler sinüs içerisinde mu- kosiliyer aktiviteyi
etkileyerek akut ya da kronik sinüzit gibi ciddi komplikasyonlara sebep
olabilirler. Bu maka- lede iki farklı hastanın maksiller sinüsüne kaçan memb- ran
fiksasyon vidası ve dental frez olmak üzere iki me- talik yabancı cisim ve
maksiller sinüsten Caldwell-Luc işlemi ile çıkartılmaları rapor edilmiştir.
Sinüs içerisine kaçmış yabancı cisimler mümkün olan en kısa zaman- da tespit
edilip mümkünse sinüse kaçtığı açıklıktan böl- geden uzaklaştırılmalıdırlar.
Aksi halde ilerleyen dö- nemlerde Caldwell-Luc ya da endoskopik yaklaşımlara
ihtiyaç duyulabilir.
