Synopsis

Maxillary sinus augmentation for implant reconstruction of the posterior maxilla is a predictable surgical procedure. Although complications are uncommon, some may result in total graft failure with potentially serious consequences. This clinical presentation will focus on the causes, recognition, prevention and management of failed sinus grafts. Emphasis will be on treatment of the failing sinus graft and will include a detailed surgical, CT and medical approach to address this not often discussed topic.

Learning Objectives
  1. Describe the etiology of sinus graft infections;
  2. Prevent, recognize and diagnose post-operative sinus graft infections; and
  3. Utilize a proven surgical, CT and medical protocol for management of sinus graft infections.
