Abstract
Treatment of the atrophic maxilla with sinus lift bone graft augmentation and endosseous implants has become common practice and enjoys a strong record of success in the treatment of edentulous patients. Sinusitis has been reported as a complication of sinus lift surgery or perforation of the sinuses by implants. We present an unusual case of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection associated with endosseous implants of the sinuses that illustrates a potentially serious complication of this seemingly benign procedure and illustrates the importance of considering implant exposure and infection as a part of the differential diagnosis in sinusitis.
