Background:
Removal of dental implants from the maxillary sinus may require surgical treatment of comorbidities.
Method:
Canine fossa endoscopy with an additional laterobasal access originally has been used for flapless sinus floor augmentation. The combined technique is presented to remove a titanium screw from the maxillary sinus. The same portals served for dissection of a mucocele using a diode laser.
Conclusions:
The combination of canine fossa endoscopy and laterobasal access allows an appropriate instrumentation and triangulation of the scope for the endoscopically assisted implant removal and dissection of the mucocele.

Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...
