ABSTRACT

Introduction: The etiology of maxillary sinusitis comprises a number of primary and secondary causes. It is always necessary to initially rule out iatrogenic causes resulting from previous interventions.
Objective: Carry out a review of the different causes of maxillary sinusitis, with an emphasis on the rare iatrogenic causes and the clinical management protocols.
Case presentation: A male 60-year-old patient who experiences episodes of maxillary sinusitis. Surgical antecedents include maxillary cystectomy, treatment for secondary oroantral fistula and posterior prosthetic rehabilitation. Initial radiological examination revealed an intrasinus mass compatible to the touch with dental impression material.
Conclusions: Before any sort of prosthetic rehabilitation and the taking of models, it is important to confirm the absence of an oroantral fistula, to prevent the entrance of foreign material into the maxillary sinus.
