Complications following dental implant placement: Spontaneous migration of a dental implant into the gastrointestinal tract
Original language description
Displacement of dental implants into the maxillary sinus is a rare but serious complication that can lead to odontogenic sinusitis and other health issues. This case study involves a 44-year-old male patient whose implant migrated from the tooth #3 region into the right maxillary sinus. After the detection of the presence of a foreign body in the maxillary sinus and the development of inflammatory complications, endoscopic surgery was planned to remove the implant. Surprisingly, a preoperative CT scan on the day of the surgery did not confirm the presence of the implant in the sinus. Further examinations revealed the implant to be located in the gastrointestinal tract, suggesting that the patient had inadvertently swallowed it. The patient remained asymptomatic, and subsequent radiographic monitoring confirmed the implant's spontaneous excretion via natural pathways. This case illustrates an unusual course of implant displacement and underscores the importance of meticulous preoperative planning and patient monitoring.
