    A gutta-percha point, a dental material, caused acute sinusitis when it entered the sinus during root canal therapy. Surgical removal was necessary as antibiotics failed to clear the infection.

    Area of Science:

    • Otolaryngology
    • Endodontics
    • Medical Case Reports

    Background:

    • Root canal therapy aims to preserve teeth but carries risks of procedural complications.
    • Foreign body migration into the maxillary sinus during endodontic procedures is a rare but documented occurrence.

    Observation:

    • A case is presented where a gutta-percha point was inadvertently introduced into the maxillary sinus during root canal treatment.
    • The patient developed acute sinusitis secondary to the presence of this foreign body.

    Findings:

    • Standard antibiotic therapy proved ineffective in resolving the sinusitis.
    • Surgical intervention, specifically a radical antrostomy, was required for successful foreign body removal and treatment of the sinusitis.

    Implications:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • This case highlights the importance of meticulous technique during endodontic procedures to prevent sinus complications.
    • Radical antrostomy remains an effective surgical option for managing foreign body-induced sinusitis.
    • Awareness of this complication is crucial for both endodontists and otolaryngologists.
