Placement of endosseous implants in the maxilla has been proven to be a reliable treatment modality. If there is lack of supporting bone, the placed implant may not have enough primary stability and may migrate into the maxillary sinus. Displaced implants must be removed. If there are no signs of maxillary sinusitis, augmentation of the resulting alveolar defect can be performed during the same procedure. INT J ORAL MAXILLOFAC IMPLANTS 2003;18:745–749
