Abstract

Dental migration into the ethmoid sinus is extremely rare. Furthermore, it is very unusual that a displaced dental implant is associated with a concomitant fungus ball in the ethmoid sinus. Herein, we report an unusual case of the coexistence of a dental implant and fungus ball in the ethmoid sinus. It appears that this condition has not been reported previously.<br /> (Copyright © 2019 International Association of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeons. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
