Postoperative Perforation of the Schneiderian Membrane in Maxillary Sinus Augmentation: A Case Report

Year: 2012

Type: article

Abstract: Perforation of the Schneiderian membrane constitutes a major intraoperative complication of maxillary sinus floor elevation with graft materials, but postoperative perforation of the sinus membrane is very rare. This case report demonstrates that conservative treatment involving drainage and the administration of systemic antibiotics can be used to successfully treat postoperative sinus membrane perforation with infection of the graft material.
