Displacement of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is one of the common dental complications. However, it is rare that dental implants cause the displacement of multiple components due to separation. Here, we describe an unusual case of a 43-year-old man who had a missing implant in the maxillary sinus after an implant procedure. There was a two-week waiting period before we performed the removal during which the cap had unexpectedly separated from the body and freely moved into the ostium by sinus activity. The body was independently extracted intraorally. The remaining cap was secondly removed by utilizing nasal endoscopy. There were no complications in the postoperative period and the patient reported no symptoms of sinusitis after two months of follow-up. We experience unexpected events in the course of treating a displaced implant into the maxillary sinus. Our case report may provide several learning points for the removal of a missing implant.

Precise volumetric measurement of newly formed bone after maxillary sinus floor augmentation (MSFA) can help clinicians in planning for dental implants. This study aimed to introduce a novel modular framework to facilitate volumetric calculations based on manually drawn segmentations of user-defined areas of interest on cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) images MATERIAL & METHODS: Two interconnected networks for manual segmentation of a defined volume of interest and dental implant volume calculation, respectively, were used in parallel. The volume data of dental implant manufacturers were used for reference.

Introduction: Dental implants are routinely used to replace missing teeth. Therefore, the primary aim of the present study was to assess the single-unit implant failure rate over a period of seven years from 2015 to 2021, with a minimum of two years post-implant follow-up. The secondary aim was to identify the risk factors associated with implant failure using machine learning decision tree regression and Kaplan-Meier survival analyses.

This study evaluated the association between dental infection and maxillary sinus pathology, and the influence of age, sex, type of tooth, root proximity to the sinus floor, the condition of the primary maxillary ostium, and the presence of an accessory maxillary ostium in this process. Computed Tomography scans were selected, and upper posterior teeth were evaluated for the presence of apical periodontitis (AP), bone loss with furcation involvement, and endoperiodontal lesion (EPL), subsequently, sinuses were evaluated for mucosal thickening (MT) and opacification of the maxillary sinus (OMS). Logistic regression models were constructed, and Chi-squared and Fisher's tests were applied.
